Stagma is a poly resin plant pot, the only thing in this entire catalog we do not make in ceramic, and there is a specific reason for the exception. For years, casinos in Las Vegas kept asking us, with rising persistence, for a pot that could sit beside a pool without becoming a hazard the moment it cracked and a bare foot found the pieces.

So we made one. Stagma is poly resin because Vegas does not care about anyone's artisanal porcelain practice. It cares whether the pot survives a wedding party at two in the morning. It bounces. It does not shatter. As far as we know it has never once cut a foot, which, after years of being asked for exactly this, feels like the right bar to have cleared. There is no drainage hole, so plant a succulent or use it as a cover pot. It is the toughest pot we make, by a wide margin, entirely on purpose.

Potting in a Pot Without Drainage

  1. Add a 1-inch layer of small stones or LECA pebbles at the bottom to create a small reservoir, since there is no drainage hole.
  2. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Not garden soil.
  3. Transplant from the nursery pot, or set the nursery pot inside and lift it out to water.
  4. Water sparingly. Without a drainage hole, less is always safer than more, so let the soil dry between waterings.
  5. Keep it in bright, indirect light, and pour off any standing water pooling at the bottom.

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.

Stagma Resin Planter Pot - Chive Ceramics Studio - Pots - Chive US

Built for a Vegas Pool Deck

Stagma is the one pot in this entire catalog we do not make in ceramic, and there is a single, very specific reason for the exception. For years, casinos in Las Vegas kept asking us, with steadily rising persistence, for a pot that could sit beside a pool without turning into a hazard the moment it cracked and a bare foot found the pieces.

We held out for a while, because we are a ceramic studio and resin was not part of the plan. Then we did the math on what Vegas actually needed, which is not artisanal porcelain. It is a pot that survives a wedding party at two in the morning. So we made one, in poly resin, and we made it well.

Stagma bounces. It does not shatter. As far as we know it has never once cut a foot, which, after years of being asked for precisely this, feels like the appropriate bar to have cleared. There is no drainage hole, so plant a succulent or use it as a cover pot. It is by a wide margin the toughest thing we make, and the only one we built specifically to outlast a crowd that has stopped making good decisions. Resin is not what we reach for anywhere else, and that is precisely why the Stagma feels less like a compromise and more like a pot built for one impossible job.

Potting a plant with Chive

  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 1 inch at the top for watering.
  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.

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.

The Rest of the No-Drainage Range

The Stagma is the odd one out in the no-drainage range, resin among porcelain and ceramic, but it earns its spot. The rest of the holeless pots are worth meeting too.

No Drainage, No Problem

The Stagma has no drainage hole, which matters less outdoors where it was built to live. Pebbles help, or use it as a cover pot. For a drainage hole, see the drainage range.

Go Easy on the Watering

Outdoors or in, the Stagma wants a measured pour, not a flood, since there is nowhere for excess to go. A narrow-spouted can keeps it honest.

Santa Barbara Did Not Ask About the Resin

Stagma is designed by Chive Studio, and although it is the one pot we make in poly resin rather than ceramic, it is drawn and developed in-house like everything else we sell. Our work is carried by botanical garden shops and museum stores across North America, including the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the San Antonio Botanical Garden, the kind of company we are quietly proud to keep. Stagma exists for a different setting, the poolside and the patio, but it was held to the same design standard as the porcelain, because changing the material was never an excuse to change the level of care.

We design everything we sell, keep it in independent stores and our own shops rather than big-box chains, and ship to more than forty countries. A pot built to survive a Vegas pool deck still has to look like we made it, and Stagma does.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Stagma best suited to?

The Stagma is a resin pot for indoor plants. It works well for succulents, cacti, and other plants that like to dry out and suits modern, boho, and minimalist rooms. As a resin pot, the Stagma fits a shelf, sill, or desk and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Chive pot range. It comes in several colorways to match different rooms.

Does the Stagma pot have a drainage hole?

No, the Stagma is an indoor pot without a drainage hole, so it is best used with plants that tolerate less frequent watering or as a cachepot. Either plant succulents directly and water lightly, or drop a nursery pot inside and lift it out to water. Without a drainage hole, the trick is to add water slowly and avoid leaving any pooled at the bottom.

What plants grow well in the Stagma?

The Stagma is a resin 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 succulents, cacti, and other plants that like to dry out. For an indoor plant pot, size up by about an inch when you repot so roots have room without swimming in soil.

Does the Stagma come with a saucer?

The Stagma does not include a saucer, which suits its use as a decorative pot. If you plant directly in it, water lightly so nothing collects at the base, or set a nursery pot inside and lift it out to water over a sink. A small cork pad underneath protects furniture if you keep the Stagma on a shelf. As an indoor pot without a tray, it is forgiving as long as you water with a light hand.

Is the Stagma pot resin?

Yes, the Stagma is a resin planter, which makes it lighter than ceramic and easy to move or hang. Resin planters resist chips and shrug off knocks, so the Stagma suits high shelves and busy rooms. It does not have a drainage hole, so water sparingly or use it as a cachepot over a nursery pot.

How do I water a plant in the Stagma?

To water the Stagma, add small amounts and stop before anything pools at the bottom, since this pot has no drainage hole. The easiest method is to keep the plant in its nursery pot, lift it out to water over a sink, let it drain, and set it back. Watering a pot without drainage is mostly about restraint, less water, less often.

Is the Stagma good for succulents?

The Stagma is a good resin pot for succulents. Succulents like the tighter, fast-drying conditions of a pot without a drainage hole, as long as you water lightly. For anyone searching for a resin pot for succulents, the Stagma covers both looks and function. Match the nursery pot to the opening and the plant settles in without fuss.

Is the Stagma a good gift for a plant lover?

The Stagma makes a practical gift for a plant lover because it is a finished resin pot that solves a real problem rather than adding clutter. It pairs easily with a plant they already own and suits most modern interiors. For a plant pot gift that gets used, the Stagma is an easy choice, and it suits anyone building an indoor plant collection.
