    Hi I'm a novice gardener, but have pot plants in my home. In one such pot containing a money plant we noticed a straggly vine type plant/weed growing (see photo). We're confused because we dont have anything like it elsewhere, and whilst it has had a pretty small white flower, and some more buds appearing at the top, and a bright green leaf, I'm having a bit of a wobble incase it's something poisonous. I'll append a photo, which is not terribly clear, but if anyone can identify it and offer any advice about cleaning up the area where it was I'd be very grateful, thankyou, Marion

    One of the Solanaceae family. Could a chilli or pepper seed have got in there somehow?
