Liberte Small 3.25" Porcelain Plant Pot
with drainage hole and saucer
Most things described as dishwasher-safe are not. The Liberte is. Chive checked, several times. It was mildly surprising, and then not surprising at all.
The Liberte Small is a 3.25-inch porcelain plant pot with a matching saucer. Porcelain fires denser and smoother than standard ceramic, which is why it survives a dishwasher cycle without the glaze crazing or the body taking on water. The drainage hole is in the bottom, where drainage holes belong, and the saucer catches what drains. The pot and saucer are made and glazed to match, so the fit stays clean over time. Plenty of botanical gardens and museums stock the Liberte, part of the 200-plus institutions across 40-plus countries that carry Chive. It's built well enough to belong there and practical enough that people actually use it.

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

- Dishwasher-safe. Can also be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Glazed pots are dipped and kiln-fired — they are sealed, durable, and not looking for trouble. No special cleaning products required.
- 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.
- Not frost-safe. Designed for indoor use and covered outdoor temperate weather use. Freezing temperatures are not recommended.

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.
