Is there a Spanish word for pot-plant?

Question

Would it be "una planta de maceta?" ? The type of plant is undefined.

Edit:Sorry for all the confusion! I was referring to an indoor plant of some sort that is contained within a 'pot' or container. Definitely not marijuana

No problem, we had some fun with it. :) - Yeser007, Jul 21, 2010

Answer 1

Do you mean a potted plant? Notice that in English we use a adjective.

potted

(planta) en maceta o tiesto: I have lots of potted plants,

tengo un montón de plantas en tiesto

Yes, this was the sort of pot plant I was referring to. I suppose, then, that una planta en maceta is the closest translation in Spanish. - sunehaa, Jul 21, 2010

Answer 3

I just wanted to confirm that in the UK/Ireland, we would frequently use the term "pot-plant" or "pot plant" rather than say "potted plant".

For instance, here is a UK website dedicated to the supply of indoor plants; it has a section dedicated to "Pot Plants" (and I don't mean marijuana).

Nasty habit of saying in English when I mean in American English. Thank you for reminding me. - 0074b507, Jul 21, 2010

It's only natural. I sometimes see something that some of you have written and am on the point of "correcting" it when I suddenly realise that it's probably US usage. :) - peregrinamaria, Jul 21, 2010

Answer 4

You are almost correct: una planta en maceta a potted plant

Under plant In my Spanish Dictionary planta (bot) is the word for plant

and under pot I found

A. (plant) plantar ...verb (de la maceta)
