it's quite funny what there is suddenly poppin out of the substrate. The newest plant I've got is some sort of mimosa. I guess it isn't mimosa pudica but it's also folding back its leaves if it get touched.
I think that grass like plant is some juncus species. Meanwhile I've got a lot of them and I also like them. The biggest in the greenhouse are over 1 m tall. Some nepenthes tendrils also used them as climbing aid.
