Default Odd little companion plant?

I have a plant growing in with my Platystele umbellata, no idea what this thing is. I'm going to repot the Platystele and wondered if this other plant is worth potting up? It has been in this pot for awhile, I lost track of its growth as it has been a bit hidden in my grow area. It is flowering now and interesting. Any ideas as to what this is would be appreciated.

The lower leaves have a lighter coloring on the edges while the top leaves are a dark almost purple color.

Pilea repens, or a similar Pilea. It is cultivated as a greenhouse or terrarium plant, but should probably be separated from the Platystele.

Thank you! I believe you are correct, Pilea repens looks like the plant. I will pot it separately as there are several small shoots growing along with these two larger growths. The Platystele needs a repot anyway and I would hate for this plant to crowd it further. Thank you so much!
