    It’s an arum, Are you sure that it volunteered? They take forever to grow from seed… I once planted jack in the pulpit seeds that took 7 years to bloom!

    Have a look at this similar plant:

    I’m not 100% on which specific arum you have, there’s a bunch…

    Son bought a ‘bulb’ in Amsterdam. Left it dry on the table, grew a minor shoot the died. Put the bulb in soil, nothing happened for a couple of weeks, then grew an enormous shoot in a week or so (0.5m). Massive leaf (one per stalk). Now growing shoots No 2 and 3. We’re in the UK. Can it live outside ?
