    What is the name of this houseplant?
    Hi everyone and thank you in advance for helping me determine the name of this houseplant. I have had the plant many years and it does NOT flower. It is a type of vine with leaves and new shoots growing off the vine. The leaves are thick and waxy and some are mottled with white spots and some are not. Please check out my pictures. Hope someone can help me!

I'm not sure this is the right category. I'm asking about a houseplant that is predisiposed to many diseases (Salvia Divinorum). Does anyone know what would cause leaves to drop after turning black or dark brown at the tips? I fed it and there is some new growth but I'm afraid I'll lose the plant.
