"noxious weed"

That's terrible news Jacob! I thought it might be a fern of sorts. I'll let him grow overnight and pluck him tomorrow - when he's not expecting it.

Cheers.

Hi @Noyade,

It really is incredible where you'll find plants growing. They really do "find a way".

In saying this, that looks like a

, known as Mother of Millions, which is considered a noxious weed in some parts of Australia.

Have a look at

for some further information.

I just did a bit of research and thought I would share. It is likely harmless, but as it reproduces vegetatively, meaning through dropped leaves, it has the potential to spread quite rapidly.
