Can anyone ID this plant - it is the green thing in the middle? It popped up rather too quickly in a pot. Pot was outside for a few months.

Hmm, not true in my pots Edd
Just the one as opposed to a pair of seed leaves blairs?

It is just one leaf, which is very slightly serrated and folded back as you can see in the pic. I thought it may be a type of Arum??? - only thing I planted is Araucaria Angustifolia seeds.
My first thought was arum, but I don't know of one with serrated leaves

Unless it's defective this is a monocot CB. Primroses have a pair of seed leaves to start and then develop little true leaves that look like that.

I was curious so emptied the pot...looks like I have taken a root cutting of something rather than a seedling. I keep getting as error when trying to upload fresh photos alas.
It will be interesting to see what it is. I did use roots cut off from Musa, Ensete and Canna when overwintering them. I thought something to bulk up the soil would save on compost. Now it is a waiting game to see what it is!
