Years ago, we designed 4 lines of pots, in 8 different colors. They were just okay, so we never ran them. One day, we had an idea - we grabbed the best two pieces from each line and placed them together. We loved the vibe. And that’s why we call it 'minute', that's how long it took to produce the best line we've ever made.

Potting a Plant in a Minute

  1. Place a 1-inch layer of small stones or LECA pebbles at the bottom of the pot. Optional, but it helps with airflow.
  2. Add well-draining potting mix appropriate to your plant. Not garden soil. We know your grandmother used garden soil. She was wrong about this one thing.
  3. Transplant from the nursery pot, leaving about ½ inch at the top for watering — in a 3-inch pot, every bit of space counts.
  4. Set the pot on the matching saucer.
  5. Water thoroughly until water runs out the drainage hole into the saucer. Empty the saucer once the plant has absorbed what it needs. This is the entire system.

Pot Care instructions
  1. Dishwasher-safe. Can also be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
  2. The glaze is dipped and kiln-fired — it is 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.

Pots So Good, Even Your Plants Will Thank You

✔ Pots with Drainage Plants, like tiny optimistic swimmers without the ability to doggy-paddle, appreciate pots with drainage holes. Water without escape routes becomes their chlorophyll-filled coffin.

✔ We've done this for a while Twenty-one years of pot designing creates the kind of expertise that makes clay tremble with anticipation, like dogs hearing a treat bag rustle.

✔ Premium Glazes Those German glazes transform ordinary clay into botanical perfection. Like tiny European vacations for your petunias—minus the jet lag and sauerkraut breath.

✔ We've done it all They've assembled a motley crew of materials—porcelain cozying up to resin, wood flirting with iron, stoneware and bisque porcelain exchanging glances. Like inviting both royalty and peasants to the same dinner party. Perfection ensues.

✔ Easy to Clean These miracle pots dance through dishwashers like Broadway performers taking curtain calls. The audience? Sparkling clean kitchenware, standing in ovation.

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.

Read the guide we wish we had

Water Has Nowhere to Go in a Sealed Pot

A pot without a drainage hole holds water at the root zone. Roots sitting in standing water cannot access oxygen. They suffocate, then rot. A drainage hole gives excess water an exit. That single opening is the difference between a thriving indoor plant and one that looks fine until it suddenly, completely isn't.

Root Rot Is the Leading Cause of Houseplant Death

Most houseplants do not die from neglect. They die from overwatering in pots that cannot drain. Root rot is silent — the plant looks healthy above soil while the root system collapses below. By the time the leaves show symptoms, the damage is done. A drainage hole does not prevent overwatering, but it gives the plant a fighting chance when you water too generously.

The Saucer Is Part of the System, Not an Afterthought

Every Minute pot ships with a matching ceramic saucer. The saucer catches what drains through, keeps surfaces dry, and lifts cleanly away for emptying. No separate trip to find a saucer that fits. No drip trays that don't match. The drainage system is complete out of the box.

Are Ceramic Pots Good for Plants?
