I think it might be a tick.  
I know they like to sit on plants/grass outside and wait for something warm blooded to brush by.  
So if one got into the house, crawling onto a plant wouldn’t be unusual behavior.

I agree. It definitely is a tick when I zoom in

No not scales, I’ve had a run in with them… they look like this…
