Houseplant ID...hanging plant, all purple with green stripes on top of leaves, what is it?


Question:

Answers:
It sounds like something I've always called a Wandering Jew. Oval leaves, pointed at the end opposite the stem, purple with white or green stripes on the leaf top? Then it's a Wandering Jew, used as a ground cover in Southern States & as a house plant almost anywhere, it has small purple flowers sometimes in groups of three. Pretty but grows like a weed if you're not careful.


The only ones i can think of which fit this description are Zebrina pendula quadricolor (the Bronze Inch Plant) and Setcreasea purpurea (Purple Heart). Do a google images search using these names and see if they match your plant, or post a photo here and I'll take another look.
