I know nothing about plants, other than that I’ve learnt that they die if I try to take care of them. So I leave them alone and they look after themselves. I’ve been ignoring this plant for a year. I don’t know what it is or what it does. The other day, I noticed a weird little mismatched shoot. It keeps growing, more and more overnight, like Jack’s Beanstalk, up and up and up. I think unfurling may happen. I am not even embarrassed about how exciting I find this.

Impressive! I know the weird aspect of this. When moving an office, we had these huge pots full of soil and Semiramis stuff. Like, too heavy for one person to carry. Devoid of plants. We thought, put those into the dark storage room downstairs and out of the way, once we unpacked the boxes take them out and re-use the soil.
Weeks later when we got to it, we entered the storage room, turned on the light and saw frigging chest-height plants had grown from nowhere and were blooming. Fascinating.

@carstenraddatz That's amazing. That must have been quite a surprise! I am genuinely fascinated by the way this plant has just suddenly produced an unexpected bit that just keeps growing and growing and growing. So fast that I'm surprised I haven't caught it in the act.

Chances are it will outlive many, many more dry seasons. Taking care by not caring much makes it promising.
