Two possibilities come to mind. If the larger leaves are fleshy and firm, the shape makes me think snake plant /mother-in-law's tongue. The smaller stems remind me of a spider plant. Is it possible you have 2 plants in 1 pot?

I have a plant that looks exactly like this plant. It is not a spider plant or a snake plant. It is something else altogether. It has bulbous roots kind of like green onions. purply stems, and long sloping leaves.

I believe it's called Sansievieria (sp?) Usually they grow upright. They don't need a lot of water.

This is not a Sansievieria, I don't know what it is but it has soft leaves, very small almost insignificant flowers on a stem and grows in a cluster. The plant likes moist soil and to be sprayed. It can tolerate quite low light.
