Making a 1/1 plant is only good when your deck is built to have benefits from that (aka zombies that give plushies for destroying a plant) (or if you want to not let the hero plant which is only useful if you do that with all uncovered lanes and is easily countered with Team-Up or even Amphibious) while base stats of this zombie are even worse than a 2-drop with generally beneficial ability. IMO his base stats should have value of a 3-drop without extra abilities. Agreed, it's ability is too situational and can even be beneficial for the plant hero with certain decks.

Examples: Botanist can make Bellflower against Briar Rose decks, or Peashooters while Podfather is on the field.

It's especially bad against Molekale/Pineclone decks, as they can immedietly use it as a free plant.

Remember when Biodome Botanist was first demonstrated, it was a 4-cost 6/6? Perhaps that would be overkill but I think giving him stats like 2/4 or 3/3 would be fair.
