I don’t know the specific, but it looks like some type of Hoya.

I would say rubber plant a type of rubber plant I have on in my yard and that’s what the app told me and it looked like my plant idk what type of rubber plant tho

The leaves are very thin and delicate, I’ve never owned a rubber plant but from the pictures I’ve looked at they look to be on the thicker side!

Peperomia obtusifolia variegated  
The rubber plant variegated

Thank you!

How thick are the leaves if you gently bend them?

#### Amy replied on 2024-04-07

They are very thin I could easily pull them off!

Hmmm that would lead me to think it’s NOT a Hoya or rubber plant 🤔 It reminds me of vinca, but the typical variegated vinca has the white on the outside edge of the leaves. Although I do see another one on Google images called vinca “Rob’s Gem.” Perhaps that?
