    Hi All,
    Does anyone have an idea of the identity of the plant below. It reminds me of a philodendron or ficus. The leaves are leathery and dark green with silver marks. Thanks.

    It's a Hoya sp., probably a simple Hoya carnosa...

    definitely a hoya...and, i agree with lila, most probably a carnosa. they're succulents so they don't need tons of water. water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry before watering again. bright light/to full sun.
