The moving guys took my bookshelf and this was behind it. The shelf had been anchored, so I never moved it before

You should go ahead and contact your landlord about possible water intrusion/damage in your walls. There’s probably mold back there too.

Looks like wisteria! Hopefully, it’s not growing up under your foundation, which will be harder to find and trim.
Wisteria is a super cool plant, but it grows like crazy. The world’s largest flowering plant is actually a wisteria planted in the 1890s in Sierra Madre California, and it’s now over an acre in size!

Free herb garden? But in all seriousness this needs to be addressed quickly.Â

That’s wisteria. It will destroy your house.

​That pale, spindly weed sprouting right out of the wall is actually a Boxelder seedling (a species of maple tree). It looks so yellow and ghostly because of “etiolation”—basically, it’s starving for light and stretching as hard as it can to find a sunbeam. A winged “helicopter” seed must have blown in from outside.
​But the real nightmare isn’t the tree itself; it’s what this means.
​For a tree seed to actually germinate, sprout, and grow inside a house, it needs three things: a seed, a tiny bit of light, and a constant, massive source of moisture. This means whoever owns this house has a severe, ongoing water leak behind that drywall. The roots are literally feeding on wet insulation, rotting wood studs, or damp drywall.
​Instead of a gardener, this person needs to call a contractor and a plumber immediately. RIP to their wallet.

Anything I plant die because I water it slightly to much or slightly too little. Or it’s too much sun or not enough. If it rains on them they collapse from the torture.
Meanwhile this plant: I was a seed washed into the inside of a wall during a storm. Then I grew in darkness and through a wall. Now it’s my house. AmA.

It’s located so perfectly and it would be such a nice feature, if it weren’t for the problems that come with that.

Just add a little Banksy style art to the wall and enjoy the scene…

I once had a moonflower vine squish its way thru the edge of an old window frame and bloom inside. Was super cool, honestly.

You have termites too I bet. You have water intrusion, probably a build up of dirt and debris on that side of the house or clogged drainage or gutters.Â
