The 5-inch Burgundy is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and at five inches the love-hate split gets more interesting. The people who walked past the small Burgundy sometimes stop in front of the medium one and reconsider entirely, as if the extra two inches gave the color time to make its case properly. The form has not gained a single feature between the sizes, only square inches, and somehow that has been enough to flip a number of firm opinions.

It is still the same pure, simple form. It has not changed its argument. It has only been given more room to make it, and apparently that is all some people needed. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and the finish stays even and deep. This is the size where a few committed skeptics quietly change their minds and decline to mention they ever doubted it.

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.

Burgundy at Five Inches: Where the Skeptics Reconsider

At five inches, Burgundy gets more persuasive without altering a single thing about itself. The argument is identical to the one the small pot makes, pure form, one committed colour, no technique to distract from either, but the larger surface gives that argument more room to land. We have watched it happen. Someone breezes past the three-inch Burgundy without a flicker of interest, then stops cold in front of the five-inch and reconsiders the entire position, as though the colour had simply needed more square inches to state its case. The glaze did not change. The person did.

There is something satisfying about a colour confident enough to win people over by sheer presence rather than by adding features, and Burgundy is the clearest example of that confidence in the line. It does not layer, it does not speckle, it does not have a story about a deadline. It has a colour and a form and the patience to let both do the work. Each pot is finished evenly and deeply, with no two reading exactly alike under different light. A centre drainage hole and a matching saucer sit beneath, unbothered by the drama above. The medium is where the love-hate quietly tips toward love, one reconsidered opinion at a time.

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.

For the Part You Cannot See

The Minute Medium in Burgundy drains and holds moisture well, but a plant that has quietly given up needs more than a good pot. Verte Rx works on the roots and colour a pot cannot reach.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Minute Burgundy ceramic pot good for?

The Minute 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 medium ceramic pot, the Minute fits a shelf, sill, or desk and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Chive pot range. This listing is the Burgundy colourway.

Does the Minute pot have a drainage hole?

Yes, the Minute 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 Minute keeps watering simple.

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.
