Hoya australis 'Lisa'

Its a very easy Hoya - water sparingly in winter and keep very bright. In late spring step up the watering and fertilize at least once a month. It will need some sort of frame or trellis to twine around. Don't expect flowers in the first year.

I have a few of them but I wasn't aware that they flowered. Very easy to grow.

Maybe a peanut plant, Arachis hypogaea. Here is a link that might be useful: peanut plant

Hi Suiv, My pictures (on Photobucket, no less!) go hinky like that sometimes, too, and it just proves what superior growers we are when we grow 'em sideways. Your first is an Echeveria, and further growth will reveal its name, but I think others might ID it for you. #2 is Crassula ovata - it looks like the leaves are largish, so it might be a cultivar (cultivated variety). #3 is also Crassula ovata, but this one's the cultivar 'Gollum'. I love the TJ's - the only place I can get 0% or 2% FAGE yogurt (clearly the best Greek yogurt).

This looks like a form of Salvia nemerosa like May Night or East Friesland.

Similar looking palms to yours are Golden Cane, Dypsis lutescens, but that isn't yours. Also Bamboo Palm, Chamaedorea seifrizii, not yours either. I'd agree, you got the ID right on that one, Parlour Palm, Chamaedorea elegens. They're a single trunked palm that are often grown from a hand full of seeds to give the pot a full/bushy appearance. Smaller/weaker individual plants die off sometimes so the clump thins out. If they're separated carefully you can grow them in individual pots. They're ideal indoor plants and grow to a maximum of about 2 metres.

Looks like a variegated rubber tree plant to me. Do a google image search and see if that looks right. Ficus picture and info.

I'd also say Hoya, Wax Vine.

Absolutely Hoya, of one kind or another. Be sure to provide plenty of sunlight for best results. Your specimen is starting to vine, which is a primary feature of Hoya.

Fiddle leaf fig - Ficus lyrata - grows as a small tree, not as a vine. And its leaves are about 4 times the size shown on the OP's plant and of a different shape. Also has none of the succulent appearance of the OP's plant or a hoya.

Figs do not have opposite leaves.

You fig advocates need to step away from the eggnog.

The red things are new leaves, not blooms. Agree with Hoya.

Hoya from me too. Neither Peperomia nor Ficus has opposite foliage. Always look at leaf arrangement as well as leaf shape and colour.

I believe that iochroma has identified the species and cultivar correctly: Hoya australis

”Lisa”. Nice little plant and very easy to grow, as are all Hoya….at least as far as I know. When given proper care, they will reward you with incredible, long lived inflorescences. All of the Hoya species that I’ve grown are extremely fragrant. I had one that was so large and had so many flowers that it became a bit too too. They were chocolatey smelling, sweet and pleasant until the hanging basket grew from ceiling to floor with over 100 large umbel flowers.

I sold that plant for a pretty penny, I’m happy to say.

rhizo - how do you sell plants? Commercially or as a hobby?

No…..I sold THAT plant! It became too large, too heavy, and far too fragrant when it bloomed for me to enjoy it anymore.
