The large Tika in Red is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and it has taught us something we have watched play out at the shop for years. People buying for themselves get conservative. They talk themselves out of things. They pick up the red, put it down, pick up the white, and tell themselves it goes with more, which is true and completely beside the point.

People buying gifts get brave in a way they cannot fully explain and do not need to. The red goes in the bag without a second thought, arrives in someone's home, and becomes the thing everyone notices first and asks about. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta. The person who lives there says I know, I love it, someone gave it to me, which is the most common sentence ever spoken in front of a red Tika and the most honest one. Buy it for yourself. You were going to wish you had.

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

Red: The Large Tika Ceramic Pot Everyone Asks About

There is a sentence we hear constantly. Someone admires a red Tika in a friend's home. The friend says the same thing every time. I know, I love it, someone gave it to me. We have heard that line more than any other. It is always said with a little pride. There is a little envy underneath it too.

Red is the most asked-about pot we make. It is the one guests notice first. It lands in the background of every photo. People do not mean to feature it. The red just refuses to sit quietly. It pulls the eye and keeps it.

We got the shade right after several wrong ones. Too orange and it turns into a traffic cone. Too deep and it sulks toward burgundy. This red sits in the confident middle. It is bold without being loud. It is warm without being sweet.

The strange truth is how people buy it. They give it away easily. They hesitate to keep it. A gift gets the brave choice. The buyer keeps the safe one. We think that is backward.

One red pot changes a room. Two is showing off. One is exactly right. It was always meant for your own shelf. Most people figure that out one gift too late.

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 Makes the Colors That Are Harder to Sell

We make the colors that are harder to sell. Red is the obvious example. People hesitate over it. Then they regret hesitating. Twenty-five years of pots sit behind this color. We have taken 14 consecutive RHS Chelsea awards.

The the New York Botanical Garden stocks our work. Forty countries and counting receive our work. More than 200 institutions keep us stocked. A drainage hole and saucer are standard. Stores order red last and least.

We do not play it safe. A catalog without a great red is timid. We refuse to be timid. Red rewards the bold. Guests notice it first. It lands in every photo. We got the shade right.

Not orange. Red is the bravest pot we make. The easy colors sell themselves. We prefer the brave ones. A room needs one fearless color. Red is ours. It never blends in. It was never meant to.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Tika Red 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 Red 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.
