Hi user12345pk,

Welcome to TPT!

A closer picture might increase accuracy but it looks like Ludwigia glandulosa to me.

Don't bother buying more, it's a stem plant. When it grows out more cut it in half and replant the top. Rinse and repeat and you'll have a forest of red plants😉.

If there are two leaves per node, that's Alternanthera reineckii. Might be the variegated kind.
