    1. At that point, I’m shutting off the electricity & then cutting a hole in the drywall. & Finding out where that plant is growing from. After I find it, I may replant it & watch to see what it grows into.

      Is that a Kalanchoe? I’ve heard they’re invasive, but good grief!

      Possibly a sucker from a larger nearbye tree outside, impressive to come up through the foundation n everything possibly

      You might have some serious issues, you should investigate.

      If that was bamboo, it would be a complete disaster.

      Looks like a kind of devils ivy. Very prolific. They literally can grow in darkness, it’s probably rooted under your crawlspace

      That’s looks like it might be vinca major—do you have any in the yard?

      My hope is that if this is ground floor, there is not a crack in your foundation. I lived through that fiasco and it was a nightmare getting it repaired. Good luck, friend.

      that’s not how houseplants work

      (your carpet or the underlayment is probably moist. Check for leaks around that area. On the ceiling, or on the other side of the drywall. It will rot your subfloor if it stays that way.)

      You probable have a slab leak , moisture under the flooring will do this.

      A lot of commenters are concerned about this plant. I am too. He looks leggy and likely needs more light.Do you fertilize at all?

      To me, this looks like a Goldfish Plant. Looks like when a piece of stem breaks off to me.

      That is unfortunate. Every answer to “How is that possible?” is “You have an expensive problem with your home.”

      Funny and scary thing about carpets is that they get heavier over time. Practically a bed of soil.

    14. I can’t say what this is, but if it’s Japanese knotweed, you have a big problem. They don’t have roots, but rhizomes, and can break through basement walls and foundations. Please get it checked out ASAP.
