My friend has two houseplants, one that's not doing well and one that seems healthy. The first photo is the ailing plant and the second two photos are of the healthy plant. We'd appreciate any help on 1) what kind of plant these are and 2) suggestions for how we can help the ailing one. Thank you very much!

It looks like these are 2 different plants?
do you know if this plant ever blooms?
If you can post a better photo of the bottom plant we may be able to help you.
Believe it or not, the plant in the bottom two photos was propagated from the plant in the top photo eight years ago, so we know they're the same species.
The parent plant (that's not doing well) is at least 20 years old, and it's never bloomed during that time; the healthy plant has never bloomed either.
All of the photos I have of both plants right now are at:

If none of these are helpful, let me know if there's something specific we should try to make sure is in the photos.
Sorry I misread your question. I may be able to help if you can post another couple of photos.
The bottom one looks like grape ivy to me.
From your photos it looks like the stems may be almost "square" and may be "puffy"?
It really looks similar to a coleus plant to me but I do not have any right now to compare it with. The green leaves kinda throw me off because most coleus plants have colors but since it is grown inside I'm not sure.
Here is a good link from Thriftyfun if you find it is a coleus.
