potted

Like indoor ferns

Potted describes something placed or grown in a pot, most commonly plants: a row of potted herbs on the windowsill.

In British English, potted also refers to food preserved in a sealed pot or jar, like potted shrimp.

A potted version of something is a condensed or summarized form: a potted history of the Roman Empire.

In informal British and Australian usage, potted can mean drunk, though this sense is dated.
