The large Tika in Orange is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and orange is the color that has never once in its entire existence asked whether it was welcome. It simply arrives, warm and certain, taking up exactly the space it intended to take up, and waits for the room to adjust, which the room always does, because orange at the right shade is impossible to argue with, and this is the right shade.

It is not the orange of a traffic cone or a Halloween decoration or something that needs a holiday to justify itself. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta. It is the orange that sits on a shelf next to everything else and makes everything else look like it was waiting for something without knowing what. Now it knows. The answer was orange. It always was.

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

Orange: The Large Tika Pot That Was Always the Answer

Orange is the color we have to talk people into. They arrive scared of it. Orange carries a reputation. Traffic cones. Halloween. A certain kind of dated kitchen. People bring that baggage to the shelf. Then they see this orange and pause.

This is not that orange. We pulled it toward warmth and away from alarm. It glows instead of shouts. It reads like terracotta that went to art school. The fear usually melts within a minute of holding one.

What it does to a room is the fun part. A gray space warms up instantly. A dull corner wakes up. One orange pot can carry a whole shelf of neutrals. People do not expect that much from a single pot. Orange overdelivers quietly.

It is, privately, a studio favorite. We do not admit that to every color. Orange earned it. It is the most fun to photograph. It is the first one visitors mention. We are always a little surprised more people do not choose it.

Green leaves look spectacular against it. Warm pot, cool foliage, instant contrast. The plant looks chosen. The shelf looks intentional. You looked brave. You only picked a pot. We will keep that between us. The warmth was the whole assignment. Orange aced it.

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.

Chive Loves a Color That Doesn't Ask Permission

Some colors ask permission. Orange never has. It walks into a room and stays. We love that about it. Our studio has made pots for twenty-plus years. the New York Botanical Garden carries our work.

The Denver Botanic Gardens holds our pots too. We reach over 40 countries. Over 200 institutions carry us. Drainage and a saucer ship with every order. Most brands fear orange outright. We leaned the other way.

A great orange is rare. A bad one is everywhere. We spent the time on ours. It carries a room alone. Orange earned its place here. It warms a gray room fast. One pot carries a shelf.

Orange is privately a studio favorite. It warms a cold room fast. It carries a whole shelf alone. A cold room needs one warm color. Orange does that job alone. It never sulks in a corner.

It pulls a whole shelf together.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Tika Orange ceramic pot good 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 Orange 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.
