Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? I’m pretty sure it’s a Purple Heart, but just want more opinions!

It’s a purple queen! I think that’s also known as the purple heart 💜

I agree it’s a Purple Heart. It’ll turn more purple with more light

The plant is having a hard time. It will stand on its own if everything is balanced. The chopsticks are damaging the stems. I recommend you remove them. You should look at the root system, first, to find out why the plant is sagging. Is there poor drainage leading to root rot? Does it need fertilizer and brighter light? Is the soil drained of nutrients and need replacing?

I have several of these plants in pots of all sizes. The one in the photo is in an 8 inch pot. The plant is about 2 feet tall and standing without a support. It gets full sun after 4pm (100°F). I water twice a day.

I recommend checking for root rot, repot with good draining soil in a pot with drain holes. Take cuttings from the plant to fill out the pot by replanting back into the soil. Purple Heart has quick growing roots. No need to water propagate. Rooting hormone is optional. All the short stems on my plant were replanted. The pot fell during a storm and the broken ones (15-20) were placed directly back into the soil.

Well it’s a cutting from my sisters plant she was killing. The whole other plant I had to save so for being pretty much dead, I think it’s doing pretty good. I just took it out of water a couple days ago and potted it which is why the sticks are in there. Also they aren’t pinching the plant in any way so they’re okay in there.

This is my Purple Heart 💜  
I disliked the green/leggy look, so I snipped all of the growth at the base and put it outside for the summer. The bottom shows 3 weeks after. So I would definitely get a grow light on it!!! Shorter internodes and deeper, more  
Vibrant purple.
