The 5-inch Green Blue is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and forty attempts is a lot of attempts for a color combination that was, by all accounts, working from the start. We kept going anyway, because green and blue together gave us more room to experiment than we expected. You can see the indecision in the best possible way, a green and a blue that clearly enjoyed each other's company through every one of those tries.

At five inches you can see some of that range still living in the final version: depth in the green, movement in the blue, the result of having had forty chances to get it exactly right and only needing about a dozen of them. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and no two pots settle alike. The medium size is where all that happy over-testing finally has room to show.

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.

Green Blue at Five Inches: Forty Tries, Visible

Forty attempts is an absurd number for a glaze that worked on the first try, and the five-inch Green Blue is where that absurdity pays off. We did not test green and blue forty times because it was difficult. We tested it because it was pleasurable, because the combination kept offering up new good versions and we kept wanting to see them. The medium size has enough surface to carry the residue of all that experimentation: a green with real depth and a blue with genuine movement, the kind of nuance that only survives when you have looked at a colour from forty slightly different angles and chosen the best of them.

At three inches the combination is charming. At five it has room to actually demonstrate why we could not stop making versions of it. Each pot settles on its own, the two colours arriving at a marginally different agreement every time, which is exactly the unpredictability we were chasing through all those batches. A centre drainage hole and a matching saucer sit beneath, the steady part under the part we kept fussing over. We needed perhaps a dozen tries to get this right. We took forty, and the five-inch is the size where the extra effort is most visibly, happily, present.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Minute Green Blue 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 Green Blue 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.
