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 3-inch Blue Green Layers is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and it is one of those rare colors that is genuinely impossible to mess up, which we know because we have, on occasion, accidentally tried. Clean, simple, hard to hate, it is the kind of design principle we keep coming back to. We tend to overcomplicate things in this studio, so a color that quietly refuses to let us is a small relief we have learned to appreciate. Versatility is the whole pitch, and it needs no other.

Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and the layered surface resolves a little differently on every pot. A pot that works equally well in my mother's shabby chic house and a swank New York City loft has earned its place in the line on versatility alone. The three-inch proves the point at the smallest possible scale.

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.

Blue Green Layers: Impossible to Get Wrong

Blue Green Layers is one of the rare colours that is genuinely impossible to get wrong, and we know this because we have, on occasion and entirely by accident, tried. It is clean, simple, and hard to hate, which sounds like faint praise and is in fact the highest compliment we hand out, because a colour that cannot be ruined is a colour that earns its keep without supervision. There is something almost suspicious about a colour this agreeable, and we spent a while waiting for the catch before accepting there is not one. We are still, occasionally, waiting.

The whole argument for it is versatility. A pot that looks at home in my mother's shabby chic house and equally at home in a swank New York loft has justified its place in the line on range alone, no story required. The three-inch makes that case at the smallest scale. Each pot resolves on its own, the blue and green layering into a slightly different result every time. A centre drainage hole and a matching saucer sit underneath, the same as every Minute. Some colours demand the right room. This one shows up anywhere and behaves, which is rarer and, frankly, more useful. It asks nothing of the room and gives back more than its share.

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

Blue Green Layers comes in two sizes, the same hard-to-hate combination at each. The small proves the point at the smallest scale.

Water It Like You Mean It

The Minute Small in Blue Green Layers drains the way it should, which only matters if the watering keeps pace. A proper can or mister makes the difference, and ours look the part on a counter.

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.
