Curate Your Indoor Landscape With These:

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 5-inch Ivory Speckles is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and at five inches the texture that makes this our favorite pot in the line finally has room to do what it does best. The whole appeal is the speckled ivory surface, and the medium size is where that surface has the space to register fully. The small version only hints at the texture, while the medium one settles, fairly conclusively, the question of why it sits at the top of the studio's list.

Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and no two pots speckle the same way. We genuinely study how sponges dry to get this right, the way moisture pulls unevenly, the way texture forms in patterns that look random and are not, and the medium size is where you can actually watch that obsession pay off, speckle by speckle.

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.

Ivory Speckles at Five Inches: Texture With Room

At five inches, the texture that earns Ivory Speckles its place as the studio favourite finally has the room to perform. The small version concentrates the appeal; the medium lets it spread out and breathe, speckle by speckle, across more surface than the three-inch allows. The whole point of the pot is that texture, and at this size you can see every bit of the attention that went into it. If a single pot could justify an unreasonable research habit, it would be this one, and around here it quietly does.

We genuinely study how sponges dry to get this right. We watch the way moisture pulls unevenly across a surface, the way it leaves patterns that read as random and are in fact the product of an unreasonable amount of looking. The medium size is where that study pays off most visibly. Each pot resolves on its own, the speckling never quite repeating. A centre drainage hole and a matching saucer sit beneath the surface, the working part under the part we cannot stop admiring. It is our favourite pot in the line, and the five-inch is the size that explains why without our having to say a word. Speckle by speckle, it earns the title we keep giving it.

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 pot in Ivory Speckles used 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 Ivory Speckles 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.
