    I had a flower pot sitting on my 2nd floor balcony.... only with no flower and a bunch of soil. Recently, a step started growing... and I transplanted it into my garden where it is now growing very rapidly. I'm curious to know what type of plant this is? The leafs are very different from any type of plant I've seen down in South Florida.

    If it has a milky latex sap I'd say a Ficus.
