Curate Your Indoor Landscape With These:

Designed to layer beautifully in any room. Choose a piece as your design anchor, then build your custom pottery collection with these complementary companions:


The Fox is a ceramic succulent planter shaped like a fox. Sly reputation aside, this one just holds a plant.

It comes in four colors, which is more choice than most animals in this collection get. Blue, green, orange, or white — there's no wrong one, only the one that matches the shelf.

There is no drainage hole, so it's happiest with a succulent or a small cactus, or as a cover pot for a nursery container you lift out to water. It's glazed ceramic, it wipes clean, and it looks like a fox.

Pot Care instructions
  1. Dishwasher-safe. Can also be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
  2. Glazed pots are dipped and fired in the kiln — they are sealed, durable, and not looking for trouble. No special cleaning products required.
  3. For pots with saucers empty the saucer periodically. Standing water in the saucer defeats the purpose of having a drainage hole, which is a thing we feel strongly about.
  4. Not frost-safe. Designed for indoor use and covered outdoor temperate weather use. Freezing temperatures are not recommended.

Foxes Are Not Supposed to Be This Popular

Foxes have a branding problem in most children's stories — sly, untrustworthy, the one who eats the thing the story was actually about. Nobody warned us before we put one into ceramic and gave it a succulent to hold. It has become one of the better-reviewed shapes in the entire animal line anyway, which suggests either that the reputation was always undeserved or that a glazed clay fox with a plant growing out of its back short-circuits whatever grudge people were carrying.

It comes in four colors, which is more than most of the line gets, because it turns out people want their fox in more than one costume. Blue fox, green fox, orange fox that looks the most like an actual fox, and a white fox that looks like it wandered in from a different, colder story. There is no correct choice. There is only the one that matches the shelf.


Potting a plant with Chive

  1. Place a 1-inch layer of small stones or LECA pebbles at the bottom of the pot. Optional, but it helps with airflow.
  2. Add well-draining potting mix appropriate to your plant. Not garden soil. We know your grandmother used garden soil. She was wrong about this one thing.
  3. Transplant from the nursery pot, leaving about 1 inch at the top for watering.
  4. Set the pot on the matching saucer.
  5. Water thoroughly until water runs out the drainage hole into the saucer. Empty the saucer once the plant has absorbed what it needs.

The Ultimate Repotting Guide

For those who have killed a plant. Or several. Or, frankly, many.

Before you put a plant into your new pot, you have to get it out of the nursery pot — a process that ends badly more often than any gardening influencer will admit. We wrote a full guide: when to repot (early spring, and not when you're feeling impulsive in October), which soil to use, how to tell your plant is root-bound, and how to avoid the three mistakes that kill perfectly healthy plants within a week of a well-intentioned repotting.

The Fox Has a New Neighbor

The Fox used to have the shelf to itself. Now there's a smaller, rounder animal claiming the other end — spines instead of a tail, same glazed finish, same no-nonsense succulent job.

Meet the Whole Menagerie

The Fox has company. The full Animal Pots collection runs the same idea across ducks, dinosaurs, mice, and the occasional pig.

For the Part You Cannot See

The Fox is the part of the plant you can see. Verte Rx is the part you cannot, an indoor plant food that works on roots and color long after the pot has done its job.

Stocked at the Chrysler Museum, Reputation Notwithstanding

Designed by Chive Studio, the Fox belongs to our original animal pot line, drawn in-house rather than pulled from a shape someone else already owns. Our ceramics turn up in museum shops and botanical garden stores across the country, including the Chrysler Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Neither one stocks the Fox because of the story it's supposedly the villain of.

It's held to the same standard as the pieces that do get us into those rooms, because that's the only standard we have. We design everything we sell, keep our work in independent shops and our own stores instead of big-box shelves, and ship to more than forty countries. The Fox goes out the door the same way everything else does — checked, glazed, and fully rehabilitated.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Fox planter good for?

The Fox is a ceramic planter for indoor plants. It works well for succulents, cacti, and other plants that like to dry out, and suits modern, boho, and minimalist rooms. As a ceramic planter, the Fox fits a shelf, sill, or desk and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Chive pot range. It comes in four colorways to match different rooms.

Does the Fox planter have a drainage hole?

No, the Fox is an indoor planter without a drainage hole, so it's best used with plants that tolerate less frequent watering, or as a cachepot. Either plant succulents directly and water lightly, or drop a nursery pot inside and lift it out to water. Without a drainage hole, the trick is adding water slowly and never leaving any pooled at the bottom.

What size plant fits the Fox?

The Fox is 3.25 inches in diameter, so it holds a nursery plant close to that width — match the grower pot to the opening rather than the plant's mature size. Good choices include succulents, cacti, and other plants that like to dry out between waterings. Size up by about an inch at repotting so roots have room without swimming in soil.

Does the Fox come with a saucer?

The Fox doesn't include a saucer, which suits its use as a decorative planter. If you plant directly in it, water lightly so nothing collects at the base, or set a nursery pot inside and lift it out to water over a sink. A small cork pad underneath protects furniture if you keep the Fox on a shelf.

Is the Fox pot ceramic?

Yes, the Fox is a ceramic plant pot. Ceramic is fired hard, holds glaze color well, and doesn't break down with watering the way untreated materials can, which makes it a reliable choice for indoor plants. The Fox is glazed to seal the surface, so it wipes clean and keeps its finish on a sill, shelf, or table.

How do I water a plant in the Fox?

To water the Fox, add small amounts and stop before anything pools at the bottom, since this planter has no drainage hole. The easiest method is to keep the plant in its nursery pot, lift it out to water over a sink, let it drain, and set it back. Watering a pot without drainage is mostly about restraint — less water, less often.

Is the Fox good for succulents?

The Fox is a good ceramic planter for succulents. Succulents like the tighter, fast-drying conditions of a pot without a drainage hole, as long as you water lightly. For anyone searching for a ceramic pot for succulents, the Fox covers both looks and function — match the nursery pot to the opening and the plant settles in without fuss.

Is the Fox planter a good gift?

The Fox is a small animal planter that works as a desk pot, a windowsill succulent home, or a gift for a plant lover or a kid's room. It has no drainage hole, so it suits a small succulent or a nursery pot dropped inside. As a novelty ceramic planter that still looks tidy, the Fox lands better than most desk trinkets.

Shido Vegetable and Flower Seeds Vacuum sealed for peak freshness

The pot is sorted. Now what goes in it?

Shido seeds come vacuum-sealed, non-GMO, and packaged well enough that people keep the packets after the seeds are gone. Which is either a design success or a problem, depending on how you look at it.
