Planed Plant ("Children's Planet") is a strand of Welsh-language television programming for children broadcast by S4C.

Although it includes such imported animated programmes as Yu-Gi-Oh! and Sabrina, dubbed into Welsh, Planed Plant also features a number of Welsh-produced programmes. Uned 5, the channel's flagship youth magazine show, was often introduced by Planed Plant until April 2005 when the programme moved to a new prime-time slot.

Planed Plant is shown on S4C weekdays between 16.00 & 17.00 on analogue and 16:00 & 18:00 on digital.

[edit] Revamped service

On Friday 26 October 2007, in-house production of Planed Plant ceased and was replaced by a service produced by independent production company Boomerang the following Monday.

As part of the changes, the previous presentation team (Alex Jones, Mari Grug, Alun Williams) were replaced by a new team of announcers/presenters. Newcomers Geraint Hardy and Meleri Williams began presenting the 4-6pm strand for older children (Planed Plant). Williams left the presentation strand after eleven months. Alex Jones and Alun Williams continue to make appearances, albeit as freelance announcers.
