We made the Large Dojo in Blue Gray because shelves are full of boring pots. This one strips away the nonsense. Clean lines only. The cool tone was built for variegated leaves.

It comes in six, seven, and eight inches. The porcelain body is heavy and sits low. The walls are thick and the base is weighted. It will not tip under a Monstera. A real drainage hole runs through the base. A matching matte saucer catches the runoff, not an afterthought. Your table stays dry and clean. Water never pools at the roots.

No shiny coat to cheapen the profile. Just matte porcelain, sealed inside and out. The flat finish hides fingerprints and water spots. A spider plant looks designed against the cool gray. It holds soil and keeps your plant alive. No root rot from standing water. We build it to last, not to trend. It sits quietly on your shelf for a decade.

Potting Tips

  1. Repot in the evening.
  2. Wait 1–2 days after watering, then repot.
  3. Buy potting mix. Not backyard dirt.
  4. Move the top layer of soil from the old pot into the new one. It's a little ecosystem.
  5. Never go more than one inch bigger.
  6. Soil line sits an inch below the rim. Leca or small rocks at the bottom for drainage.

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 kiln-fired — 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.

Blue Gray Matte Porcelain Built for Variegated Foliage

The true story behind the Large Dojo in Blue Gray comes down to a drafting argument in the studio over its geometric profile. We designed this matte porcelain planter, offered in six, seven, and eight inches, with sharp, structural lines because mass-market pots look completely boring on a modern windowsill.

This is not lightweight clay; we engineered the base footprint with heavy walls so it will not tip when holding a top-heavy Monstera or a structural Dracaena.

Instead of a glossy finish, the cool Blue Gray wears a matte architectural finish that catches natural evening daylight and makes variegated foliage look designed.

For real functionality, a precision-drilled drainage hole runs through the base floor to prevent stagnant root rot, supported by a matching matte saucer designed to save your wood table or office desktop from water stains.

It became a studio favorite because it represents a stubborn refusal to dilute our shapes for big-box retail distributors. We spent four months adjusting the porcelain body just to preserve the minimal exterior profile without sacrificing the root environment.

We do not manufacture scarcity or change our lines for fleeting seasonal trends. We build heavy, reliable porcelain meant to sit quietly on your shelf for a decade while keeping your indoor plants alive.

Look closely at the interior floor and you can see the tooling marks from our workshop trials, left raw as proof that humans fought to get this shape right.

Potting a plant with Chive

  1. It's best to repot your plant in the evening. Trust us, we know.
  2. Repot 1–2 days after watering — keeps the same rhythm going and won't shock it.
  3. Potting soil is not the dirt from your backyard. Go buy good, nutrient-rich soil.
  4. The top layer of soil in your current pot should be the top layer in the new pot too. It's a little ecosystem your plant likes.
  5. Never go more than one inch bigger than your existing pot. "It'll grow into it" is not correct, and you will kill it.
  6. Keep the soil line about an inch below the top of the pot. Add some leca or small rocks to the bottom for better aeration.

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.

It is the guide we wish someone had handed us twenty-five years ago. It is written by people who have personally committed most of the errors in it.

The Hole That Keeps Roots Honest

Roots need air as much as water. A blocked pot drowns them slowly. Every pot in this collection drains. Every one ships with a matching saucer. The water leaves and the roots breathe.

Water It With Control

Variegated plants are fussy about water. Give them the right tools. Our watering cans pour slow and aim true. A fine mister keeps the humidity up. Calatheas and Thai Constellations ask for that. Water with control. The Blue Gray Dojo drains what is left.

Stocked at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Chive Studio makes porcelain for people with a real eye. Our work is stocked at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It also sits in the New York Botanical Garden. A botanic garden tests the plant. A modern art museum tests the color.

Blue Gray passes both. It does not flinch in either room. We ship to over 40 countries. We stock at over 200 institutions. That trust took decades to earn.

The Large Dojo is matte porcelain, built to drain and to last. Every pot ships with a drainage hole. Every pot ships with a saucer. Both. Always. We have never made an exception.

The cool tone was built for variegated leaves. A spider plant looks designed against it. Blue Gray suits the collector with a good eye. It earns its place beside the best plants.

We mixed the cool tone until it was right. It reads calm next to busy foliage. The hole keeps the roots honest.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Dojo Blue Grey porcelain pot good for?

The Dojo is a porcelain pot for indoor plants. It works well for pothos, snake plants, peace lilies, philodendrons, and small ferns and suits modern, boho, and minimalist rooms. As a large porcelain pot, the Dojo fits a shelf, sill, or desk and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Chive pot range. This listing is the Blue Grey colorway.

Is the Dojo a plant pot with a drainage hole and saucer?

Yes, the Dojo is a porcelain plant pot with a drainage hole and a matching saucer. The drainage hole lets excess water escape so roots are not left sitting in water, which is the most common cause of root rot indoors. Water until you see a little drain into the saucer, then empty it. For a porcelain pot with drainage, the Dojo keeps watering simple.

What size plant fits the Dojo large?

The Dojo large is a porcelain pot that holds a nursery plant of a similar width, so match the grower pot to the opening rather than the mature size of the plant. Good choices include pothos, snake plants, peace lilies, philodendrons, and small ferns. For a large indoor plant pot, size up by about an inch when you repot so roots have room without swimming in soil.

Is the saucer included with the Dojo pot?

Yes, the Dojo ships with a matching porcelain saucer, so it arrives as a complete pot and saucer set. The saucer catches water that drains through and protects shelves and sills from rings and moisture. Both pieces are finished to match, which is why the Dojo reads as one considered object rather than a pot with a random tray underneath.

Are porcelain plant pots good for indoor plants?

Yes, the Dojo is a porcelain plant pot. Porcelain is fired hard, holds glaze color well, and does not break down with watering the way untreated materials can, which makes porcelain plant pots a reliable choice for indoor plants. The Dojo is glazed to seal the surface, so it wipes clean and keeps its finish on a sill, shelf, or table.

How do I care for plants in the Dojo pot?

To water the Dojo, add water until a little runs into the saucer, then tip out what collects so roots are not left standing in it. Because this porcelain pot has a drainage hole, you can water thoroughly and let the excess go, which encourages even root growth. Check the top inch of soil before watering again rather than watering on a fixed schedule.

Is the Dojo a good porcelain pot for snake plants?

The Dojo is a good porcelain pot for snake plants. It drains freely, so the roots get water and air in the right balance. For anyone searching for a porcelain pot for snake plants, the Dojo covers both looks and function. Match the nursery pot to the opening and the plant settles in without fuss.

Does the Dojo work as a housewarming gift?

The Dojo makes a practical gift for a plant lover because it is a finished porcelain pot that solves a real problem rather than adding clutter. It arrives as a pot and saucer set and suits most modern interiors. For a plant pot gift that gets used, the Dojo is an easy choice, and it suits anyone building an indoor plant collection.
