jojoe,
I found this link;
Daves garden site. What I found out;
Hemigraphis alternata, or purple waffle plant, one of the highest rated ornamentals for removing indoor air pollutants.
Keep the soil moist at all times. In the wild, purple waffle plants can be found growing in bogs, so it is important to prevent the soil from drying.
