The Large Ceramic Plant Pot in Green Cement is a glazed ceramic plant pot from Minute, the line where we stopped pretending to be modest. At full size the Minute is the loudest possible version of something we insist on calling understated, the glazework the result of years of going wrong in specific ways until it went right.

Green Cement reads matte and mineral, a muted green over a gray-cement base that looks unglazed until you touch it. A center drainage hole and a matching saucer sit under the glaze, because a pot this involved still has to keep a plant alive.

At full size it takes exactly the room it has earned and not an inch more. It looks unglazed until you touch it, at which point it stops pretending.

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 Cement: Loud, and Calling It Understated

At full size, Minute becomes the loudest possible version of something we are choosing to call understated, which is the kind of contradiction we have apparently decided to build an entire product line around. The glazework took years to get right, in the sense that it took years of things going wrong in increasingly specific ways until one day they did not.

Now it looks effortless, which is the most expensive kind of effortless there is. A large Minute sits there taking up exactly the room it has earned, looking like it happened on a Tuesday afternoon. It did not happen on a Tuesday afternoon. Nothing in this line has ever happened on a Tuesday afternoon, no matter what day it was actually finished.

Green Cement reads matte and mineral, a muted green over a grey-cement base that looks unglazed until you touch it. The glaze is the reason the line exists, and it is the reason this pot will not match the one next to it exactly, which is intended.

Underneath the surface it is a working pot: glazed ceramic, a centre drainage hole, and a matching saucer so water leaves the soil and stays off the furniture. The drainage is not an afterthought here. It is the part that keeps the plant alive long enough to appreciate the glaze, and it is the reason a pot this involved still functions as a pot.

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

A plant notices the Minute Large in Green Cement, and it notices Verte Rx faster, since indoor plant food reaches the roots and the colour long before a pot ever could.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Minute pot in Green Cement 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 large 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 Cement colourway.

Is the Minute a plant pot with a drainage hole and saucer?

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.
