The first two pictures I know for sure are of cane begonia(s), although there are so many kinds of cane begonias I'm not sure what species they are. I'm not sure on what the last picture is, though. It seems to be some type of succulent, vining plant.

Have you ever seen this plant in bloom? I am not quite sure but it looks like a Lipstick Vine.

The first 2 pics are definitely some type of cane begonia. I think the 3rd pic might be a Hoya. Here's a link to a site about Hoyas that has a lot of pictures:

Are you sure it isnt an Angel winged begonia>

The last one resembles the Hoya, but the plant seems too soft to be it??

Bali, I agree with you about the begonia. I would be grateful if you would correct me, though, please. Isn't the angel-wing begonia a type of cane begonia?

I still think that's a hoya, but one that hasn't been getting sufficient light. I could very easily be wrong, though!

This is first I ever heard it called cane plant. Mine just grew straight up , and had flowers in bunches......

In a sunny window it grew about 6 ft.. That was long ago.
I think I staked it .

neither of these plants have been cared for at all in many years. Now that they have been properly planted they have both started to grow like crazy. Maybe some flowers in the near future will help shed a little more light ( haha ) on this mystery. thanks for all the help

What I would do, take soem cuttings off the top.
To get more plants..
It will bushy out better.......

Just pop them into water to root..
