House Plant Identication

[denvervet]

I know this is not the website for this but I have been searching on line to identify this houseplant! Can't find a thing at all. Maybe someone out there knows....

Has thick leaves, they have silver tone spots on them, it grows in a vine.

I used to know the name. The person who gave this to me is no longer around to ask. He did say it liked to be root bound to be able to flower. Moved it to a small pot 2 years ago, still no flowers. I must be doing something wrong and need to know the name to do that. You guys have helped me for a few years with my orchids and I've gotten excellent advice, anyone know what this is?

Looks like a Hoya, beyond that I don't know. Most of the common ones in cultivation seem to like pretty bright light, warm temps, and regular moisture with excellent drainage. If a plant that big hasn't bloomed for you then the first thing I'd suggest is gradually increasing light. Hope this helps!

Looks like Hoya carnosa.

Yes, my best guess would also be Hoya carnosa var. ???. This Hoya likes to dry out some between waterings and should be in a standard potting soil mix with a little bit of extra drainage. It's not a real fast grower, so fertilize lightly.

Hoyas are a satisfying plant to grow but they also tend to be a magnet for mealy bugs. Keep an eye out for the fuzzy little critters on the base of the stems and undersides of the leaves.

I have that one too. Ive had it a year. No blooms. If you cut the vines at all, you wont get any blooms. They bloom on the previous years growth, on the end of the long tendrils. So unless you have the room to let it grow indefinitely with little to no pruning, you will never see flowers.

Yes, looks like one of the many many Hoya carnosa cultivars. Rootbound, little fertlizer, bright light = flowers. Happiest in a mix for epiphytes (like orchids) rather than potting soil.

Definitely a Hoya. Ive had mine for years, I just keep winding the tendrils around itself as it is on a plant stand so now you can't see the pot. It likes to be root bound I haven't repotted mine in ages and it blooms frequently, they are very fragrant.
