The large Tika in Meadowlark Yellow is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and it arrives now that North America has finally made its peace with yellow, which took longer than it should have and required more convincing than yellow deserved. For years yellow was either too much, aggressively cheerful, the color of a warning sign or a school bus or a stick of butter left on the counter long enough that you are no longer certain about it, or not enough, fading into something nobody could name without squinting.

Meadowlark Yellow is neither. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and the glazed surface wipes clean. It is the yellow that people who claimed not to like yellow pick up and carry to the counter without quite realizing what they are doing, which is the best possible outcome for a color that spent decades being misunderstood and has only recently been given the credit it was always owed.

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 fired in the kiln — 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.

Meadowlark Yellow: The Large Tika for Yellow Skeptics

Meadowlark Yellow took longer to make than it looks. Yellow is the hardest colour to get right. Too bright and it shouts. Too soft and it vanishes into beige. We mixed and fired and rejected for months. The studio holds strong opinions about yellow. Most of them were wrong at first.

The shade we landed on is warm, not loud. It reads like late afternoon light. It cheers a room without demanding the room notice. That balance is the whole achievement. We are quietly proud of it.

What it does for plants is the real payoff. Green leaves warm up against it. A leggy plant looks intentional. A plain plant looks chosen. The yellow lends a little confidence to whatever sits in it. Plants cannot buy confidence. This pot hands it over free.

It plays well with a room too. It sits beside wood without clashing. It sits beside brass like they planned it. It warms a cold, grey-leaning space fast. People underestimate how much one warm pot can shift a shelf.

This is the colour we recommend to yellow skeptics. They arrive doubtful. They leave converted. We have stopped being surprised by it. Meadowlark earns that the slow way. It was tuned to.

The shape was settled long before the colour was, which is usually how it goes here.

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.

The Tika Family

The Tika comes in three sizes. Three-inch, five-inch, and Large. Meadowlark Yellow runs in the eight-inch Large. Same glaze. Same drainage. Same saucer. Yellow has neighbours in this family. Pair it with white or New Grey. The set was built to mix without a wrong move.

Pots With Drainage

A drainage hole is the difference between a plant and a casualty. The Large Tika has one, plus a saucer. So does every pot in this collection. Meadowlark Yellow drains clean. Browse the full drainage range. Healthy roots start at the bottom of the pot.

Water With Control

A big plant in an 8-inch pot needs steady water. Use the right tools. Our watering cans pour slow and aim true. A mister keeps the tropicals happy. Water less and water better. Meadowlark Yellow and its drainage hole handle the rest.
