Designed to layer beautifully in any room. Choose a piece as your design anchor, then build your custom pottery collection with these complementary companions:

The large Lilo in White is a porcelain plant pot with the same impossible odds as the small one and the same payoff, scaled up. It is the most expensive pot we make, it is porcelain, and it is, with no more articulate way to put it, adorable, which large objects are almost never allowed to be.

Most things this size are imposing. Lilo is the opposite. It is the size of something you want to hug, an unusual goal for a plant pot and an even more unusual one to hit on the first try, which happens about forty percent of the time. White was the first colour and still the one people reach for when they want the shape to do all the talking. There is no drainage hole, so plant a succulent or use it as a cover pot. You are paying for the forty percent that came out right, and those are the only ones we sell.

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.

Adorable, at an Unreasonable Size

The large Lilo is the small one's improbable older sibling, same impossible odds, same payoff, more of it. It is porcelain, it is the most expensive pot we make, and it is, with no better word available, adorable, which is a thing large objects are almost never permitted to be.

Most things this size walk into a room and take it over. The Lilo does the opposite. It is the size of something you want to hug, which is a deeply strange ambition for a plant pot and an even stranger one to land on the first try, which happens around forty percent of the time. The rest go back to the start.

White is where the line began and where most people still start, because white lets the shape do all the talking and the shape is the whole point. There is no drainage hole, so plant a succulent or use it as a cover pot for a nursery container you lift out to water. You are paying for the forty percent that came out right. We do not sell the rest, and we never have. What lands on your shelf is the version that earned the trip, and in white it earns it twice over. Nothing else we make looks quite this composed doing this little.

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 Rest of the No-Drainage Range

The large Lilo in White sits in a collection of pots that skip the drainage hole on purpose, including its own siblings in Olive and Pink Blush. Worth seeing them together.

No Drainage, No Problem

The large Lilo in White has no drainage hole, which suits a succulent and a light watering hand. Drop a nursery pot inside if you prefer. For a drainage hole, the pots-with-drainage range delivers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Lilo White porcelain pot good for?

The Lilo is a porcelain 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 large porcelain pot, the Lilo fits a shelf, sill, or desk and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Chive pot range. This listing is the White colourway.

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.

Your new pot is waiting.
