It's a plant I had several years ago. Trawling back through my information from that time I thought it might be Ludwigia arcuata; however, looking at other pics I'm no longer convinced - the leaves look much narrower on mine.

It looks most like didiplis diandra to me. It has all the right things happening, pink at the tip, hedge like growth, arrow straight.

I thought that too, but I'm guessing the lighting may not be enough to get it pink/red judging by the glosso growth.

I may be wrong though. Not the first time, and certainly not the last!
 
I'm with you on that George, apparently didiplis turns red/pink with stability rather than light so it would explain the way it's colour is changing the form seems right for it too, the leaves being tiny, I never got chance to find out just what it's needs where with ending up homeless and tank less :rolleyes: but before it went all melty on me it was a very very pretty plant.

But yeah, the only real way to find out would be to look at the stem for the leaf nodes that didiplis forms.
