Well placed facing one's plant (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satisfactory

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'well' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'placed facing one's plant' is the wordplay.
'placed facing one's' becomes 'satis' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'plant' becomes 'factory'.
'satis'+'factory'='SATISFACTORY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satisfactory that I've seen before include "Meeting expectations" , "Fully acceptable" , "fine" , "Acceptable - adequate" , "Fulfilling expectations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
