I have a climbing jasmine in a pot, and I noticed some new shoots coming up from the soil near the roots. But the leaves don’t look like jasmine at all. What does this mean? Are these really from the jasmine, or something else?
I also attached photos of them when they were smaller and how they’ve grown over time.
Should I remove them or let them grow to see what they are?

Something else, though no idea what.
Something that is not Jasmine is sprouting.
I would recommend downloading a plant identification app. It could help you know what kind of plant this is. I don’t know enough about Jasmine myself, but I do know that sometimes baby plants look quite different from the grown plants.
Some sort of nightshade.
Looks like ground cherries/physallis. I grow them in the summertime and they seem to self seed and find new homes in many of my planters, which gives me more delicious ground cherries. Not sure how they do it, but I’m not mad.
