It looks similar to a hoya. I’m not sure which one because of the color variations. It also could be a standard vine.

It looks like it had inconsistent watering where some leaves look dehydrated while others look like they suffered from overwatering. It’s hard to say. I would check the condition of the roots. Let it dry more.

The pot looks too big. The plant can’t use all the water in the soil if these are newer cuttings. I recommend repotting to a smaller pot just slightly larger than the root ball. 🍀🪴

It’s a learning process. You will get a feel for it with experience. I was heavy handed with water/soil and killed off a lot of plants when I started caring for houseplants. It’s an expensive hobby 😂
