The Virago Small is a 3.5-inch white porcelain pot for the succulent that has outgrown its starter plastic but earned nothing bigger. For years, every visitor bought the white one. Chive made other colours. Nobody moved them. So the whole line went white out of spite, and the white still sold first. Not the lesson Chive set out to teach.

Porcelain at this size is overkill, which is the point. It fires denser than standard ceramic, keeps its matte finish, and doesn't chip easily. A centre drainage hole and detachable saucer handle the rest. Small pots punish overwatering, because less soil forgives you. A single succulent, a rooted cutting, or an indoor herb graduates into this one. It's named for a difficult woman and sized for a plant that hasn't decided what it is yet.

Canada Wide Delivery

We like to keep things easy, breezy, and beautifully green. That’s why all our hard goods—think modern plant pots, chic home decor, and must-have plant care tools—are available for delivery across Canada. Whether you're nesting in Nova Scotia, taking in the scenery in Calgary or chilling in Vancouver, we’ll ship your stylish planty essentials straight to your door.

If you're located in the Greater Toronto Area, lucky you! We offer speedy same-day and next-day local delivery starting at just $14. Because when you find the perfect ceramic pot or plant stand, you shouldn't have to wait to show it off.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the grow room—plants. While we’d love to send our leafy friends all over the country, they’re not the best travelers. They like humidity, warmth, and being fussed over (relatable, honestly). So for now, live plant delivery is available only within the GTA. We’re working on it—but until then, no cross-country road trips for your new Monstera.

Bottom line? If it’s a planter, watering can, or decor gem (aka our fabulous Ceramic Flowers), we’ll get it to you—fast and fabulous. If it’s a plant, make sure you’re local. Our delivery policy keeps your green goodies safe, stylish, and happy, just the way we like it.

Start Something From Seed

Pots So Good, Even Your Plants Will Thank You

The Virago Small is a 3.5-inch porcelain plant pot, which is an unremarkable phrase for a thing we reached by a fairly unreasonable route. The name is Latin. A virago is a strong, brave woman, and we did not pick it because it was gentle. We picked it because the pot is built from more material than its size requires, in a matte texture that took an embarrassing number of attempts, and sold mostly in a colour we produced out of spite.

At three and a half inches it is the size for the plant still deciding what it wants to be: the propagation that has finally rooted, the supermarket succulent that deserves better than the pot it came in, the kitchen-sill herb you have, against your own expectations, kept alive. The drainage hole sits at the base where it belongs, and the detachable saucer catches what comes through.

Small pots punish overwatering faster than large ones, because there is less soil to forgive you, so the drainage is not decoration here. It is the whole survival strategy. Porcelain at this size is genuinely overkill. It is also why this pot will outlast the plant in it, the windowsill it sits on, and at least one apartment you have not moved into yet.
