green leaves comming from roots

So I ordered out a few live Trinidad Scorpions and my wife put the wrong zip code.
Whether it was an accident or revenge for my hot hands a few months back is unknown.
But the live plants ended up lost in the mail for 14 days.
Yes that's 14 days total darkness .
When I recieved them they looked horrid (like the Christmas tree in the Charlie brown special).
Out of the 2 I transplanted one (it died) and left the other in the planter it was shipped in.

After a near loss I trimed the stem to an inch above the soil.
Since then the roots shot out little hairs that thickened and have been growing really odd looking leaves.

Will I eventuality be able to get peppers or do I have a Leaf plant?

Those are a type of fern (I read it spreads by spores) that you will find outside all over. It has black/purple leaves that spread along the ground that turn bright red in the fall. It is really a weed
