    My old Greek teacher gave me this plant before she retired, but I have no idea what its name is or how to take care of it. Does anyone know?

    Thanks,
    Ty

    Might be some kind of Peperomia.

    Peperomia scandens, Cupid Peperomia?

    I checked out photos of the Cupid Peperomia, and I am not sure if that's it. The Cupid's leaves narrow but my plants don't; they're round and thick and the vines are thick as well. It stands about 16'' tall and the leaves are around 3.5'' wide and 4'' long. But it does have that rat tail-like flower... so maybe it is.

    thanks for the info
