Like some plants (6)
I believe the answer is:
potted
'like some plants' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for potted that I've seen before include "Abridged, like TD poet" , "Sort of history" , "As shrimps or billiard balls may be" , "Summarized or abridged" , "Abridged, or planted in small container" .)
