Behind the toilet there is a small crack between floor board and wall. A red colored fern type plant is growing there.
What the heck is this and how do I draw from rid of it. This has happen before to a neighbor contained by their bathtub, but they never figure out what it was and ripped out the entire bathroom to capture rid of it. I really do not want to go that far.
I own poured bleach on it turning a tan/white color. It is quite fiberous and I am unqualified to break it apart. It also appears to be wrapped around the hose that leads to the toilet cistern.
Thank you in credit for any ideas on this problem.
