The large Tika in Greenery is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and it is the green for people who have been through things. Forest green from the 1980s left marks that therapy has not fully addressed: the corduroy, the wallpaper borders, the entire decade of interiors that smelled like pine and bad decisions.

Neon green, meanwhile, is a color that makes perfectly reasonable adults want to sing Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go in public, which is not a state anyone should be in while selecting a plant pot. Greenery sits exactly between those two disasters, not nostalgic, not aggressive, just the perfect middle green. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta. It asks nothing of you except a plant, a windowsill, and the willingness to move on from 1987, which at this point should be achievable for most of us.

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.

Tika Ceramic Pot & Saucer Set With Drainage - Chive Ceramics Studio - Pots - Chive Ceramics Studio

Greenery: The Large Tika Pot in the Exact Right Green

Greenery exists because the other greens kept failing people. Forest green carries baggage from a certain decade. Neon green belongs at a rave, not a windowsill. Everything between them tends to look muddy. We wanted a green that did none of that. Finding it took a while.

The trick was restraint. We pulled the color back until it stopped reminding anyone of anything. No nostalgia. No alarm. Just a clean, even green that behaves. That sounds easy. It was not. Most greens we tried wanted to be a statement. This one agreed to be a backdrop.

People love it for exactly that reason. It is the green for when green should stay calm. It pairs with plants instead of competing with them. A variegated leaf pops against it. A silver-leaved plant glows. A plain green plant finally has a frame.

It is also the one nervous shoppers trust. They want color without risk. Greenery gives them both. It feels adventurous enough to be a choice. It feels safe enough to never regret. That is a narrow target. We hit it on purpose.

Greenery is the green for people done with green drama. There are more of them than you would think. The calm is the entire design brief. We hit it on purpose.

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.

Every Chive Color Survives an Argument First

Every Chive color survives an argument first. Greenery survived a long one. The studio fought over this exact green. We landed somewhere calm. Our studio has run for over two decades. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden stocks our work.

the New York Botanical Garden carries us as well. We ship worldwide, to 40-plus countries. Over 200 institutions hold our pots. Each one includes a drainage hole and saucer. We reject more greens than we keep. Most try too hard.

This one stopped trying. Restraint is the rarest skill. Calm beats clever in color. Green is harder than it looks. We sweated this one. No nostalgia. No alarm. Just a clean, even green. It behaves on a shelf.

Greenery earned its name the slow way. We fired it. We lived with it. Only then did it reach the shelf. It pairs with everything green you own. That was the whole point.

Calm is harder to sell than loud. We make it anyway.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Tika pot in Greenery used for?

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 Greenery colorway.

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

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.

Is the saucer included with the Tika pot?

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.

Are ceramic plant pots good for indoor plants?

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 care for plants in the Tika pot?

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 a good ceramic pot 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.

Does the Tika work as a housewarming gift?

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.
