Obtusafolia variegated

You may be onto something- maybe it’s not a peperomia at all…I looked up nemanthus and looks most similar to this

I trim them back to promote bushy growth.

I think I looked to quickly. This is my peperomia obtusifolia variegated. The leaves are much wider than the poster’s. But they said peperomia and I went with that. But I don’t think it’s a goldfish plant either. At least mine has more narrow leaves. I may need to research this.

Thanks for checking! I have the obtusfolia variegated already and looks like yours. I haven’t been able to figure out this one- the only thing I remember is it’s supposedly a peperomia
