I was thinking maybe some cross contamination in coco? Why would any plant end up in a brick of coconut husks. Thinking maybe wherever the coco grow came from maybe sells mimosa hostilis and it got into my bag lol
Possibly, I actually forgot that you mentioned coco. I'm pretty sure Urbz is right though, looks spot on to me.

You're right, my bad pot plants stay the same size and never add more leaves either........
I just mean it's growing different, it stopped at 6 leaves and is doing a lot more verticle growth, doesn't look to be adding more leaves. And pot plants don't add more fingers, it goes 1 then 1 or 3, then 3 or 5 usually, and so on depending on strain.

I never said a pot plant will add more leaflets. Pot has a compund leaf structure called palmate. The leaflets will grow longer though. Honey Locust are compund as well but their structure is referred to as pinnate. So that seedling you have there actually only has two leaves. And just as pot leaves grow longer, so to do the HL leaves. Being pinnate, that means they increase in length by adding little pairs of leaflets. Here is a picture of a tray of Honey Locust demonstrating the variations in seedlings.

None of those look quite the same, although they are very close. I'm pretty sure it's not the same plant. All these plants look the same! I feel like I will never know what it is unless I grow it out for 5 years
