The plant cutting in the image appears to be from a \*\*Hoya\*\* plant, specifically a \*\*Hoya carnosa\*\* or another variety of Hoya. Hoyas are popular indoor plants known for their waxy leaves and vining growth habit. The leaf variegation visible in the cutting, with a lighter center and darker edges, is typical of some Hoya varieties, like Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' or 'Variegata.'

\### Care Tips for Hoya:  
\- \*\*Light\*\*: Hoyas prefer bright, indirect light, though they can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.  
\- \*\*Watering\*\*: Water thoroughly when the soil is mostly dry, as Hoyas are somewhat drought-tolerant. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the plant has good drainage.  
\- \*\*Humidity\*\*: These plants enjoy higher humidity levels but can adapt to normal indoor conditions.  
\- \*\*Propagation\*\*: The cutting you have can be propagated by placing it in water or directly in moist soil. Ensure that the node (where the leaf and stem meet) is in contact with water or soil to encourage rooting.

With proper care, this cutting should root and grow into a healthy, trailing plant!
