The large Tika in Green Sheen is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and the name is something we typed into the website with a straight face and have been quietly embarrassed about ever since. Nobody in this studio has ever called it Green Sheen. It is tennis-ball yellow, the color that bypasses every rational part of your brain and lands somewhere older and louder and considerably less polite.

You did not come in looking for this color. You came in looking for something considered, something a person with taste would choose after careful reflection. Then you saw this, picked it up, put it back, and picked it up again, and the careful reflection was over. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta. The tennis-ball yellow was coming home with you, and your existing decor was going to have to figure it out. Green Sheen. Sure. That is what we are calling it.

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.

Green Sheen: The Large Tika Pot in Tennis Ball Yellow

Here is a confession. On the website it is called Green Sheen. We typed that with a straight face. We have been quietly embarrassed ever since. Nobody in the studio calls it that. Nobody ever will. It is tennis ball yellow. Everyone who sees it knows immediately.

We did not plan a cult color. We got one anyway. Green Sheen is the Tika people name first. They cite it when they describe their shelf. They photograph it more than any other shade. It is the pot their friends ask about. It is the one they swear they chose on purpose.

The gloss is half the appeal. It catches light and throws it back. On a gray afternoon it does the most work in the room. A dark plant in front of it looks staged. It was not staged. The yellow just makes everything near it look deliberate.

This is the loudest color we make. We are not sorry about that. Loud was always the point. The Tika began as a play on color. Green Sheen is that play turned all the way up. People come in cautious. They leave with the yellow. Then they return for a calmer color to sit beside it.

The shape was settled long before the color was, which is usually how it goes here.

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 Tika Family

The Tika comes in three sizes. Three-inch, five-inch, and Large. Green Sheen runs in the eight-inch Large. Same glaze across the family. Same drainage. Same saucer. The loud yellow has quieter siblings. Pick a few. The colors were built to sit together on one shelf.

Chive and the Colors You Talk Yourself Out Of

We make the colors people talk themselves out of. Then they buy them anyway. Green Sheen is the clearest proof. Nobody plans to buy tennis ball yellow. Two decades of ceramics sit behind this pot.

Our work sits in the New York Botanical Garden. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden stocks us too. Forty-plus countries keep us on their shelves. More than 200 institutions carry us. Drainage and a saucer ship with every pot.

We could have named it honestly. We chose Green Sheen instead. The color wins regardless. Loud is a feature, not a bug. The gloss earns its keep. Yellow wins more than it should. We are glad it does.

It photographs better than anything. Green Sheen is the loudest color we make. We are not apologizing for it. People come in cautious and leave with the yellow. It outsells the safe colors most weeks.

We did not see that coming.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Tika in Green Sheen best suited to?

The Tika is a ceramic 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 ceramic pot, the Tika fits a shelf, sill, or desk and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Chive pot range. This listing is the Green Sheen colorway.

Does the Tika pot have a drainage hole?

Yes, the Tika is a ceramic 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 ceramic pot with drainage, the Tika keeps watering simple.

What size plant fits the Tika large?

The Tika large is a ceramic 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.

Does the Tika come with a saucer?

Yes, the Tika ships with a matching ceramic 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 Tika reads as one considered object rather than a pot with a random tray underneath.

Is the Tika pot ceramic?

Yes, the Tika is a ceramic plant pot. Ceramic is fired hard, holds glaze color well, and does not break down with watering the way untreated materials can, which makes ceramic plant pots a reliable choice for indoor plants. The Tika 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 Tika?

To water the Tika, add water until a little runs into the saucer, then tip out what collects so roots are not left standing in it. Because this ceramic 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 Tika good for snake plants?

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

Is the Tika a good gift for a plant lover?

The Tika makes a practical gift for a plant lover because it is a finished ceramic 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 Tika is an easy choice, and it suits anyone building an indoor plant collection.
