Stuckweed appears in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. He is a talking plant who resides in Grouchland and helps Elmo along his journey, through the song "Take the First Step."

The puppet was later recycled on Sesame Street as a female garden plant sharing a window box with Stinky in Desperate Houseplants. The puppet also makes various cameos in the center of Plaza Sesamo as Pancho's plant.
