Origins
It is currently unknown what exact plant Potted Powerhouse is based on, but she somewhat appears to be a zucchini with leaves sprouting around it. It does not have the Squash tribe, however.
Her name is a combination of "potted," referring to the fact that she lives in a pot, and "powerhouse," referring to her ability.

Strategies
With
Potted Powerhouse can be a devastating plant if played well, similar to how a Valkyrie will end up in the hands of Professor Brainstorm . Her ability can be paired with self-boosting plants such as Muscle Sprout and Doubled Mint, or with most Dino-Roar plants since they tend to boost either their strength or health when you draw cards (think Apotatosaurus, Bananasaurus Rex, Tricarrotops, Veloci-Radish Hunter, and Veloci-Radish Hatchling), and if protected with a plant with the Team-Up trait or with more health, she can end the game very early.
Shielding this plant with the superpower Root Wall is a good idea to avoid damage from zombie tricks or fighters, but only if you are Grass Knuckles. Take note that healing abilities in plants like Geyser do not boost the Potted Powerhouse, even if the health increases. Another good idea is to try and shuffle it into your starting hand, so that way you can buff it earlier.
As Captain Combustible, Potted Powerhouse can take advantage of 
Anti-Hero plants, as their ability to provide extra strength can be activated by removing or displacing whatever zombie fronting them, which, in turn, benefits this card. It is also possible to use Banana Peel to move the zombie blocking it back and forth if it ends up Conjuring another.
Any plant or trick that boosts multiple plants can boost this by a lot. These include:
Consider playing Plant Food or Espresso Fiesta when this plant has high strength as she would most likely get destroyed immediately or blocked by a zombie. This will damage whatever is in front of her for a lot, assuming Potted Powerhouse has been boosted enough.
As Grass Knuckles, Potted Powerhouse should not be used in Three-Nut decks, as Three-Nut's ability will not interact with hers, and will also erase her strength boosts by setting it to 3.
Avoid Bouncing this plant with Rescue Radish (Green Shadow only) as he will reset her stats to 4/4, requiring you to boost her again.
Against
Potted Powerhouse is just as strong as a Valkyrie in terms of mechanics. If you leave this plant and other self-boosting plants alone, she could become a tremendous threat. Try disposing of this plant as soon as possible. When fighting against a Mega-Grow hero, try to focus on getting rid of any plants that boost themselves such as Pea Pod or Bananasaurus Rex, because leaving these plants alive could possibly be boosting a Potted Powerhouse in the plant hero's hand.
If it gets out of hand, try to Bounce this plant or save tricks such as Rocket Science and Locust Swarm. A deadly, disposable zombie, such as Cosmic Imp or Smelly Zombie, will also work.

Trivia
- Since Potted Powerhouse's stats are increased while she is in your hand, her stats do not appear green when played. However, when Shrink Ray or Landscaper is played to lower Potted Powerhouse's strength, the stats become green as if she were boosted while on the field, as long as the resulting stats are higher than her original stats.
- This also occurred with Valkyrie's strength should Water Balloons, Weed Whack, or Scorched Earth be played on her.
- This has been patched since update 1.14.13, because her stats become green while in your hand and when played as long as her stats are higher than her base stats.
