Plant (Chinese: 植物[1]) monsters were very overlooked and weak until support for the Type was released in the Crossroads of Chaos, Crimson Crisis and Raging Battle booster sets. A general strategy for Plant-Type Decks is to use cards like "Gigaplant", "Lonefire Blossom" and "Lord Poison" to fill the field with powerful monsters. They can go hand-in-hand with Insect-Types as well with cards like "Arcane Archer of the Forest" and "Prickle Fairy".
One of the strongest Plant-Type monsters is "Tytannial, Princess of Camellias" at 2800 ATK. It has the power to negate any card effects that target simply by sacrificing a Plant-Type monster (which in worst case scenario can even be herself). It can be easily Summoned by Tributing "Lonefire Blossom". In power and strategy, "Tytannial, Princess of Camellias" is followed by "Gigaplant", which has 2400 ATK and the power to Special Summon Plants from the Graveyard and hand.
Other notable Plant-Type monsters include "Mystic Tomato", "Spore", "Dandylion", "Botanical Lion", "Glow-Up Bulb", "Nettles", "Lord Poison", "Cactus Fighter" and "Rigorous Reaver".
Plants also have Plant version of staple cards like "Solemn Judgment" and "Mirror Force", in the forms of "Pollinosis" and "Wall of Thorns", respectively.The plants have a version of "Marauding Captain" in form of "Twilight Rose Knight", a version of "Witch of the Black Forest" in form of "Violet Witch" this cards are non-plant type monsters but their effects are used with the plant-type monsters. There are other plant cards very similar to other non plants cards, for example :"Dark Verger" and "Quillbolt Hedgehog". Other cards present similarities in the picture of the cards like "Wonder Clover" "Break! Draw!".
The most usual Attributes associated with Plants is EARTH or WATER. Plant cards usually revolve around swarming and regenerating back onto the field. Unlike Zombies, Plants are often used to fuel effects such as negations rather than for strictly attacking purposes. They have many cards that allow them to be special summoned to the field from the deck and hand but mostly from the Graveyard. Cards like "Lonefire Blossom", "Plant Food Chain", "Lord Poison", "Gigaplant", "The World Tree" and "Miracle Fertilizer" all add major support to bringing back a swarm of Plant monsters to overwhelm the opponent. There are many good Plant-Type Tuner monsters, like "Copy Plant" and "Spore".
Plant-Type monsters are used by Akiza Izinski in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. Her signature card, "Black Rose Dragon", is considered a staple in Plant-Type Decks. Plant-Type monsters also appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, used by Aika and Tombo Tillbitty. Aika plays a Plant deck with a focus on special summoning plants to XYZ Summon "Battlecruiser Dianthus," which is later ranked up to summon "CXyz Battleship Cherry Blossom". Tombo plays with a "Tomato" deck.

Plant Beatdown
This deck revolves around Lonefire Blossom and Gigaplant to help flood the field. Make sure you use the effect of Gigaplant effectively in order to pull decent synchro monsters out while using Queen of Thorns to make your opponent pay life point to summon non-plant monsters. You could use Tytannial, Princess of Camellias and combo it with Gigaplant so you could tribute Plant monsters special summoned by Gigaplant's effect to negate any cards that target your plant monsters. You can also keep the opponent at bay with powerful cards like Wall of Thorns. This deck also uses Pollinosis or Tytannial, Princess of Camellias to negate spells and traps that destroy multiple monsters such as Lightning Vortex or Mirror Force or Torrential Tribute, however, this can be entirely foiled with cards like Zombie World and DNA Surgery, so be sure to pack in Mystical Space Typhoon and an optional Twister. This deck's ability to swarm the field quickly for fuel or for an all out attack can be foiled by cards like these.

Naturia Plants
The Naturia Plant variant. This type of Naturia build utilizes Naturia Plants and other Plant-types (hence the name) to beat the opponent down with Tytannial, Princess of Camellias and lock the opponent down with Naturia Bamboo Shoot. This deck type is effective because it combines power with field and Graveyard control. Be careful though; if you tribute a non-Naturia monster for Naturia Bamboo Shoot, its effect will not activate and it will become dead weight. A new Naturia supporter, "Naturia Pineapple", has recently been released as a TCG Exclusive in the Duelist Revolution booster pack. Its effect greatly helps Naturia plants for it is basically a Treeborn Frog for this deck type. Remember to make sure you have no spells or traps that are continuous.

Chaos Plants
The successor to the very popular Plant Synchro deck, Chaos Plants takes advantage of the LIGHT and DARK attributes of splashable monsters, such as Sangan and Effect Veiler, to summon Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, in combination with the synchro abilities of Plants. It rarely uses enough Lights and Darks for it to be worth using Chaos Sorcerer. Something to note is that it despite being called a "Plant" Deck, it often uses more Fiend monsters then Plants.
