I’m not sure but IMO it looks really close to Hoya Fungii. They’re great

Might just be a carnosa. Fungii has fuzzy leaves and obovata leaves are bigger and have no tip

Planta identified it as a Hindu rope plant. Hoyas are confusing and it’s hard to differentiate between the various types. Looks like a Hoya Carnosa to me.

I took one of JuJuMo’s photos and tried myself and it appears to give compacta as the result. Although my debug information says 95% Hoya carnosa. I will report this and have a look at why this happens. Thank you for sharing the feedback!

This is a regular cutting of Hoya carnosa ☺️🌿

Facebook has a group called “Hoya Identification for Kind and Patient People”. It does look a little like a carnosa, but the rounded leaves are not common for that type. But it also doesn’t quite look like an obovata because of that point at the tip of the leaf. But there are SO MANY types and leaf development can vary depending on conditions such as lighting and water, etc.
