    I was given an indoor plant that vines, it has thick rubbery leaves like a Jade Tree but the color of the foliage is More of a light forest green, I was told it was of the Jade family but i have not been able to find anything on it. If any one might have an idea it would be appreciated .....Tom

    Surprising as it may seem, there are several plants that may fit that description. Could you please post a photo?

    No that's not it , that looks more like a mountain laurel. The plant i have is an inside plant and it is the color of a jade, thick wax like leaves that are kind of heart shaped. I took a pic of it but it will be a few days before it is developed, thanks tho, flower buddy

    re. help.

    Hey salt cedar ,Thanks ,but the one you show is an outdoor plant, mine as you can see has leaves the same texture as a jade ,it vines the leaves look a little like a heart , it doesn't flower, i was told it is of the jade family but i can't find any thing other than a true jade on line or in books. Well my search continues ,but a fun search....Tom

    i agree with peperomia...chris is probably correct on scandens, too. (i'm not that familiar with the different varieties).
