I've been growing this pilea for a few months now but recently I added leca balls and noticed something else was growing in the pot. I've left it alone out of curiosity but I suspect that it's a single blade of grass 😂 no idea how it got there. Does anyone have a guess as to what it could be? Should I take it out??

Let it grow and show us later what it turns out to be!

Mystery solved. It was a spider plant that grew from seed!

I let it grow for a few months and here it is now! I had a big spider plant near by so I suspect that a spider plant seed landed on the soil and grew from there. I repotted it to its own container and it's getting big. Apparently when growing spider plants from seed they will lose the variegation. Plants are so cool!
