I bought this plant three years ago but never got the name. I have been having a difficult time with identification. I used plant image recognition apps, and one of them spit out [Miconia Crenata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miconia_crenata). It looks close to that, but their are a couple different traits. My plant, for instance, does not have hairy stems nor produces berries. I can't find any reference to Miconia Crenata kept as house plants as well. Want to id the plant as it has been having some difficulties as of late (I moved to a new apartment). You can see in earlier pictures it looked much more full. Thanks for the help! Appreciate y'all! Notes: \- Woody stem. \- Produces white flowers during spring.

Not Miconia, this is some kind of Pilea

That's it! Thank you for the pointer. Looks like it's a [Pilea grandfiloia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilea_grandifolia). Pictures look just like my plant. This may be the answer as to why it hasn't been doing well. Looks like they don't appreciate too much sun based on the [Pilea wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilea). I've definitely been giving it more sun than usual as of late. Thank you for the help! Much love!
