Yes Pilea microphylla. I had one not long ago. It gets many tiny red flowers all over it. Also called an Artillery plant lol

Yes, their flowers fire their pollen out explosively!

Many thanks for the response! I had it for more than two years now, but it never has any flowers. Regards, Johann

If it flowers you'll be able to hear them bursting open. They make a popping sound, and when many do it together it's fascinating to hear :o)
