Agrokinetic probably fits the best. Though, there are some other equivalent or similar terms:

No, that doesn't work. Agro- is Greek for tilled fields, so an agrokinetic could only control fields of cultivated crops, nothing else. "Phytokinetic" is the correct word for someone who controls plants in general, though I guess "botanokinetic," another option given in the linked article, would also work.
But the article's suggestion of "chlorokinesis" is ridiculous. That would mean the ability to move the color green.
Phytokinetic is indeed the most accurate, though previous comic characters have had their powers described as florokinesis, as someone mentioned. Jason Woodrue in DC Comics is the Floronic Man.
Incidentally, have Poison Ivy or any of the other "plant" controllers been seen controlling fungi? Ivy's plant zombies in DC Universe Online often mutter "the spores shall feast!", but fungi aren't plants... If so, phytokinetic still wouldn't fit...

I wonder if H.R. will be the only replacement Wells we get this season. They should go through 3 or 4 different ones. Make it a running gag. What kind of Wells will we have this week?
And the last one should be the Flash on his world. Just so everybody can panic and think he's Thawne again for a second.

I hope they learn to perform some basic due diligence on the next Wells. They didn't even bother to visit Earth 19 to see if HR is a supervillain or the first part of an invasion from a world running out of natural resources.
His behavior and manner of speaking put me in mind of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, only amped up 5-fold and with the addition of being unable to focus on one thing for more than a few seconds.
Jim Parsons is able to makeSheldon's Autistic behavior work and feel inoffensive, but here it felt like they were trying to ape a character like Sheldon but with the intensity turned up and failing miserably.
We must have seen different episodes. I didn't get that impression from H.R. at all. He was eccentric, yes, but not 'insultingly and offensively autistic' or whatever. He's just playing up the hipster genius trope with a general inability to not say what he's thinking at any given moment.
Heroes probably would have gotten around to that if they'd gotten another season or two.
Three problems with that. One, it's combining Latin and Greek roots, although that isn't unprecedented. Two, the proper spelling would be florikinesis. And three, it refers specifically to flowers, not to all plants. Many plants are not flowering, and many plants have flowers as just one part.
Seriously? That's your argument? You can't diagnose autism based on the way a person talks, and you sure as hell can't do it based on a sitcom character!

You need to watch those scenes again. He was playing an "excitable hipster". There was nothing about it that smacked of "autistic".
Or Sheldon Cooper.
I can when I recognize the mannerisms/symptoms of Autism as a result of having been diagnosed with that disorder myself and living with it pretty much my entire life.
He's a fictional character. The mannerisms are probably not intended to be autistic, but quirky. A type of quirky that's been around ages.
Technically the first Wells wasn't Wells....
