Looks like Peperomia to me.
No. Not peperomia. Looks more like a variegated pothos.
Thats it! I couldnt remember to save my life!
Thanks!
No Ricky, it is a variegated Peperomia scandens.
Hoya have paired leaves.
Best not to guess. Vinca have paired leaves.
I plant peperomia all the time and never saw one with pointed tips on the leaves.
This is Peperomia obtusifolia "variegata" -

How sad that is.
Now you can't say that anymore, eh?
Peperomia is a very large genus with several hundred named species worldwide. Many do have pointed leaf tips.
I stand corrected, the plant show is variegated Peperomia nitida not Peperomia serpens (P.scandens).

Nope, it doesn't have the large foliaceous stipules of Philodendron and isn't a vine.
