I have Spider plants landscaped around the house in strategic places. That kind of plant keeps sprouting in the midst of them. I keep pulling them up and they keep coming back.

I classify it as a weed cause it's growing where it's not wanted, but if you repot it and see what develops you can either be pleasantly surprised or throw out the results..trust me this is hard to kill.

Careful there Princess, that looks like the type of grass that you can cut yourself on (kind of like a paper cut). Let it get settled in a bit before you try to handle it! I'd give it at least two weeks!!!

I bet that grass has formed some type of ... I can't think of the word.. not a parasite.. (I learned about it in Biology and Horticulture) but something that has learned to live in harmony with another organism while they both benefit, or one benefits and the other loses nothing.

A symbiotic relationship.

No way are they symbiotic. If you let that grass grow it will be fighting for the same nutrients and roots space as the ornamental. There is no benefit for those two plants to be growing so close together. It usually happens between a plants roots and certain fungal mychorhizae. Not usual between two plants.

it's so weird that i've had the spider for a couple years almost killed it (thought I did), repotted it and NOW it grows a little buddy! Only in my world...
