What is this plant?

August 30, 2021 1:51 PM

It's a tiny baby plant, but it was with a lot of other tiny plants at a plant store, so I think maybe it's intended to stay small. I don't think it's a philodendron, mainly because the stems are pink, but my certainty is low. Any ideas what it is? Thanks.

I think it looks similar to a waffle plant that I was given as an add on to a plant order once. If so, I found it a little hard to take care of, with frequent watering and high humidity needed--it didn't tolerate getting dry at all and I eventually accidentally killed it.

I agree with ialwayscryatendings: waffle plant (a variegated Hemigraphis alternata), and had the same experience.
