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 Green Layers is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, sized for a floor or a statement plant. At full scale, the oldest glaze in the Minute line finally gets the stage it has been quietly owed for over a decade while fifty descendants took the attention. Set it on the floor and the layering does not so much decorate the pot as occupy it, the way an old name occupies a family.

This is the original layered glaze blown up to the point where the technique stops reading as technique and starts reading as weather, color moving across the surface the way light moves across something much larger than a houseplant. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and no two large pots resolve the same way. The limited editions came and went. The fifty colorways came and stayed. Green Layers was here before all of them, and at this size it looks like it knows 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.

Green Layers at Full Scale: The Original, Finally on Stage

At full size, the great-grandfather of the Minute line gets the room it spent a decade earning. While fifty descendants collected the attention and a few limited editions made their brief, dramatic appearances, the original layered glaze waited. Scaled up to six, seven, eight inches, the layering changes character. Up close on a small pot it looks like craft. Across the surface of a large one it looks like weather, one colour moving over another with the unhurried confidence of something that has nothing left to prove. Seniority, in a glaze as in a family, turns out to be less about volume than about being the thing everything else quietly refers back to.

We built the technique by stacking glazes and letting them bleed, and the larger the canvas, the more honestly that process shows. Each pot resolves differently, because layered glaze has never once done what it was told, and we have come to read that as a virtue rather than a defect. A centre drainage hole and a matching saucer sit beneath all of it, the same plain promise the line has kept since the first three-inch experiment. The descendants are louder. The limited editions were flashier. Green Layers was first, and at this scale it carries that fact the way certain elders carry a room, by saying very little and being impossible to overlook.

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 Same Glaze, Other Sizes

The large Green Layers is the same first glaze the whole line descends from, sized up. See it small to learn where it began, or large to learn why it lasted.

Drainage Is the Whole Point

A centre drainage hole and a matching saucer sit under even the largest Green Layers, because the oldest idea in the range still answers to the plant.

For the Part You Cannot See

The Minute Large in Green Layers 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 pot in Green Layer 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 Layer 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.
