Hi Mel, here’s what my Plant ID app calls it Polynesian Ivy
Also known as: Satin Pellionia, Rainbow Vine, Trailing, Trailing Watermelon Begonia, Wavy Watermelon Begonia” there may be a few things you need to check. Is it too close to a window? One way to tell it by placing your arm next to the plant facing a window. Leave your arm there for about a minute if it’s too hot on your hand, it’s too hot on the plant. For the soil Begonias thrive in light, well-draining soil with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. A mixture of peat moss and sand or perlite is an excellent choice. You can purchase a pH test meter at any garden center.  I hope this helps. 🪴🪻🧑‍🌾

Thanks for the tag @MamaLinne ❤️ It looks like a Begonia to me! The pot doesn’t look too small to me. As long as it has drainage, I wouldn’t disturb it. What is making you think you’ve done something wrong?
@debbiedo the leafs come out wrinkled or smooth I’m not sure why they alternate
