HI:

I have a houseplant that is not doing well but I have to figure out what it
is before I look up the cure, obviously :-) I think I knew at one time what
it was but I don't remember. It almost has the same colouring as a
wandering jew but it is more sturdy and it had really tiny insignificant
flowers at one time.I don't have a picture of it unfortunately

TIA

Sally

Is this it:

Maranta leuconeura, aka prayer plant?

Maybe a Callisia or Gibasis species?

Are the flowers sessile on a spike or on a much branched panicle?

I wonder if it might be Ludesia discolor?

Thanks

but it isn't a Callisia, Giasis, Ludesia discolour or Maranta leuconeura.
It has been so long that I can't remember what the flowers look like but I
think they were sessile

Thanks for trying!
