Name That Plant!

Upright woody-stem house plant

12 years ago

Hi,

We have a house plant that I have been trying to identify by looking through pictures on the internet, and no luck. It is slowly losing leaves, and I am hoping that if I find out what it is, I can find out how to take care of it better!

It is about 18" tall, with several woody stems. The leaves are variagated, round, toothed, on long stalks, and some are heart-shaped at the base. A few leaves grew in groups of 3 but most are attached singly to the stem.

We have had it for 2 years and it has never flowered.

See the attached photo, and more photos here:

Thank-you!!!
