Stuckweed appears in the 1999 film 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, performed by Fran Brill, sharing a window box with Stinky in Desperate Houseplants. The puppet also made various cameos in the center of Plaza Sésamo as Pancho's plant. It appears along with Stinky and some other plants in the "Smarter, Stronger, Kinder" credits sequence. The puppet later appeared in the My Sesame Street Friends episode "My Cookie Monster: Kindness," performed by Christopher Hayes.
