hi, i have this plant that was given to me on the brink of death, i was just told it might be a hoya and i just figured out how to post pics so i figured id come over on the hoya forum and see if anyone can confirm this for me? the leaves are light green and cream and have pink edges, the younger leaves have more pink on the edges than the older ones do, also the stems/body of the plant is cream and pink colorde. the leaves are plastic/rubbery feeling, almost of they were fake and are very thick. my first thought when looking at it or feeling it is that it reminds me kind of like a succulant. here are some pics...

    Hi Amber,

    Pls. bear in mind I did that guess on the ID from description only, w/ no pic. The first pic shows immediately that it's a Pep, not a Hoya.
