Anything with Decent AoE imo.
Psi, fire or thorns.
When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!
My Plant/Psi was tons of fun.
I sadly had to take out it's IOs so that I could IO other, better, new toons thanks to i15, but that doesn't change the above statement.
Thorns has wonderful AoE to go with Seeds.

Plant is such a strong primary, everything works with it. /energy or /icey gives you access to powerboost. Plant because of all it's secondary effects and Seeds of Confusion benefits quite nicely from Power Boost.
/Fire and /Thorns work very, very well with plant. Thorns -def is a nice boost. And fire, well fire is just pure damage all the time.
/Psi plus plant makes for a very good teaming dom. You debuff defense, regen, and recovery. Plus you have a +regen buff for your team-mates. Honestly you can't build a bad plant dom.

What about /Icy? Doesn't that have good AoE between Ice Breath and Ice Sword Circle? I've been thinking about making a plant/icy but am too undecided 
Are psi, fire, and thorns that much better at AoE? This is for my first dom, so I want something with lots of fun and/or synergy

Ice would probably work ok but fire AE's do slightly better damage (Fire breath does 92 vs frost breath's 73, combustion and ISC are about equal) plus it has fiery embrace which is probably the best damage boost power dom's get - 85% boost to fire damage for 30 seconds. Psi assaults AE are about the same as ice but PSW has a much faster activation time then the other PBAE powers and drain psyche is a really nice heal+end rec tool.
Balancing this ice has a lot of slow, which is a nice secondary effect, and power boost isn't a bad utility power, especially for dominators, I just think it isn't as useful for plant since seeds is such a nice control power without any boost.

I love the imagery of plant/fire. Make yourself look like a bear and call yourself Anti-Smokey. Your battle cry can be 'Only I can create Forest Fires!!'
Fire, Psi, ice and thorns would all work fine as secondaries for plant. They all have the standard AE (1 cone, 1 PBAE) and they all have decent utility powers and other attacks. Thorns actually gets more AE with ripper as a second cone, despite being melee and even thorntrops will add to AE damage, just not much.
You COULD go with electric assault but thunderstrike's AE got gutted in the update so all you have there is a cone. Energy only has the PBAE and while the set overall does some nice damage it synergizes best with single target focused control sets.
Ultimately plant has such good control and built in AE damage between the damage the confused mobs cause to each other and the fact that its AE immobilize does twice the damage of all the other AE immob's that you could use any secondary with it and do well. So find a concept you like and run with it is my suggestion.

Im looking to roll a new dom and plant is the only dom/controller primary i havent played. Other than thorn, because i dont like the way it looks, what secondary has good synergy with Plant?
