what am I

I found this cutest little plant at the store today. Has this nice little caudex. Looks like a vine. What is it?

Looked through all my plants and I don't have that one. I am curious, too. Great caudex on that.

At first I thought it was one plant, but after I looked at it, I realized there are four in there.

Here is another picture which shows the leaves a little better. I hope someone can figure it out for me so I know how to take care of it.

Well, I repotted and there are four separate ones. How do you like that , 4 for the price of one.

Sorta looks like young papaya plants to me.

the leaves do look kind of like papaya but I have grown papayas from seed and they dont have a caudex. Good guess though.

It could be a Kedrostis africana (CUCURBITACEAE), or a Tumamoca macdougalii (CUCURBITACEAE), also look at Trochomeria (CUCURBITACEAE) -

It's a Cissus tuberosa. I have this plant. It's pretty easy to take care.

Here's the plantfiles on it:
