Hello, my spider plant died. My son and I forgot about it when winter hit. But this ended up growing after. Is this just weeds? Thank you in advance

Those are definitely weeds and a tree growing out of it.

#### Steph antwoordde op 2025-09-25

So should we keep it? We dont know how to garden

#### SWDK antwoordde op 2025-09-25

Keep it. And buy another spider 🕷️ plant …

### Wade reageerde op 2025-09-25

You can just pull em out and try to start new. Looks like that spider might not be coming back though.

Most of those volunteers are dandelions. The taller one is a tree, and looks like possibly an elm. If you get pictures of the bark, a leaf, and the branching arrangement (i'm not sure if it's doing spiraling alternate or opposite) then i can help you ID it further

#### Steph antwoordde op 2025-09-30

I will take a closer picture today. It looked like the stem was red is that a thing?

#### Waspinator antwoordde op 2025-09-30

With a red stem, it's probably a plum or cottonwood species

### EllenLikesPlants reageerde op 2025-09-26

I’d say they are weeds!

### Trickey9214 reageerde op 2025-09-26

Definitely got taken back over by nature, but could be cool to see what sprouts. Like some others said looks like some dandelion (useful for a number of things if youre interested in that) and maybe an elm starting up (obviously a much longer term, slow grower)

#### Steph antwoordde op 2025-09-30

No idea. I do not have a green thumb that I know of. We did pretty well over the summer but with my work schedule I forgot all about it when winter came

### Mrs Daniels reageerde op 2025-09-30

The whole plant is missing 😩

#### Steph antwoordde op 2025-09-30

I do not have a green thumb. I work a lot and when winter hit and the snow came my son and I forgot all about the plant 🤦‍♀️

### Mrs Daniels reageerde op 2025-09-30

I understand, try a Jade plant or some succulent plants 🥰
