Is this a HOYA

TUCSON, AZ(Zone 9a)

I am not sure of this ones name. I am not sure if its even a hoya.I put this in the Identification Forum also. I think??? I got this from Norma. But not sure. The leaves are very smooth, stems have a reddish color along with the green,its a fairly fast grower. I have it in a 4in pot. and I already toke a cutting off the top of it. I sure hope someone out there can ID it for me. Thanks for any thing. Binky :)))

hmmm looks more like a Peperomia.
Hoyas usually have the leaves in opposing pairs on stem whereas this one seems to be alternating single leaves on the stem.

Looks more "Peperomia-ish" to me too....leaf position all wrong for Hoya....but a mistake often made!!!! ;~)
