The large Tika in Periwinkle is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a centre drainage hole and a matching saucer, and it is a limited edition, a phrase we use carefully and mean completely. We did not break as many of these as the firing had planned for us, which is the kind of sentence that makes more sense if you have spent any time around a working studio and complete sense if you watched the Kentucky Derby this year and noticed the colour of a certain something running past at considerable speed.

We are not going to say more than that. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta. What we will say is that when this colour is gone it is gone permanently and entirely, that periwinkle at this particular shade does not come around often, and that the horse, for what it is worth, looked extraordinary.

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.

Periwinkle: The Limited-Edition Large Tika Pot

Periwinkle is the colour people miss and never forgive themselves for. It is a limited run. When it sells out, it is gone. Not restocked. Not reissued. Gone in the permanent sense. We mean that more literally than most brands do.

This story gets told more than any other Tika. People who own one mention it unprompted. People who missed the last drop bring it up with real regret. Grown adults describe a sold-out pot like a missed train. It is a little dramatic. We understand completely.

The colour earns the fuss. It leans blue without tipping into navy. It catches afternoon light and softens. No two pots read exactly alike. That slight variation is part of the charm. Each one is a little singular.

It pairs beautifully with deep green leaves. A plain plant in Periwinkle looks rare. Some of that is the pot. Some of it is knowing nobody else can buy one. Scarcity flatters a plant in a way we cannot force.

If it is in stock, that is the whole sign. Stock is the only promise Periwinkle makes. When it is gone, the regret is yours to keep. People learn this the hard way. Be the one who did not.

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. Periwinkle runs in the eight-inch Large. Same glaze across the family. Same drainage. Same saucer. This colour is limited. The rest of the family is not. Pair it now, while Periwinkle is still here to pair.

Pots With Drainage

Limited colour, standard engineering. The Large Tika has a real drainage hole and a saucer. So does every pot in this collection. Periwinkle drains as clean as the rest. Browse the full drainage range. Rare colour, same rule: water has to have somewhere to go.

Mist, Don't Drown

A rare pot deserves careful watering. Skip the guesswork. Our cans pour slow and steady. A fine mister lifts the humidity. Big foliage drinks on its own schedule. Water with intent. Periwinkle and its drainage hole take care of the overflow.

Chive Studio, the studio, and Limited Runs

The studio has its own opinions. Sometimes it makes fewer than we planned. Periwinkle is one of those colours. That is why it is limited. We have made ceramics for over twenty years.

The Denver Botanic Gardens carries our work. The the New York Botanical Garden stocks us too. We ship to more than 40 countries. Over 200 institutions stock our pots. Drainage and saucer come with each one.

We do not manufacture scarcity here. When we say limited, we mean it. The number that exists is fixed. We will not quietly reprint it. Rare colours stay rare. No second runs. Limited means limited.

We keep that promise. Buy it or miss it. Periwinkle is the only Tika that will not return. The others are permanent. When it is gone, it is gone. People still ask us to bring it back.

We will not. That is the point.

About Our Story

Plant Tips from Chive Studio

Quick tips, straight answers, and the occasional reminder that overwatering kills more houseplants than neglect does.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Tika in Periwinkle best suited to?

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 Periwinkle colourway.

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 colour 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.

The pot is sorted. Now what goes in it?

Shido seeds come vacuum-sealed, non-GMO, and packaged well enough that people keep the packets after the seeds are gone. Which is either a design success or a problem, depending on how you look at it.
