I found this growing in a pot which had another small plant. I didn't know if it was a parasite or a weed or a good plant. It looks quite nice. Do any of you know what this is? I tried an app called plantsnap but it didn't seem to give the right answer. A

We have that plant too it’s easy to care for that and if those little flowers fall down it will multiply very fast.

@pitstop Actually I also do not know its name but I am familiar with it since we have had a lot of it when I was little and my Grandfather's house has a lot of it growing around. They can survive in any kind of climate and even if you don' water it it will take time to fully die as they only shrivel before they fully dry. If you water it chances are they will grow back again.

The plant looks like from cactus family growing from the leaves. If you keep the leaves in the soil, it will germinate I think. Looks nice can be used to beautify your balcony.

I'm not sure, I would watch and see what happens. It doesn't appear to be harmless, could be a weed. Try pulling it. I wouldn't recommend weed killer, because it could damage the rest of your plant.

I'll keep 8t for now as it doesn't seem to cause any harm.
