- DESIGNING POTS SINCE 2003 — Yes, we make beautiful pots, but we design them with common sense. We have drainage holes in pots, so you don’t overwater your plants. That’s just common sense. And given that a lot of our pieces will end up on dinner tables, we design them so they don’t block out the person you’re trying to chat to. Yep, it’s all common sense.
- THE ‘TIKA’ PLANTER — We set out to design a cool alternative to the traditional terracotta pot and saucer, going with the handmade ceramics approach and leaving the rims of each pot scalloped to give them an organic feel. Available in a range of colors and sizes, the Tika Planter coordinates easily with any décor.
- THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED PLANTERS — This large Tika ceramic pot is fully glazed and features a practical drainage hole and saucer for easy watering and care. Each ceramic plant pot measures 7.5″ tall and 8″ in diameter, and can be easily cleaned with warm soapy water.
- FUN, VIBRANT COLORS — Available in 11 colors, from bright and punchy primary colors like Red, Orange and Yellow, to the modern White and Black, the Tika flower pots coordinate with any décor. Mix and match to create an eyecatching indoor or outdoor garden!
- PERFECTLY SIZED PLANT POTS — Your plants are going to love their new Tika flower pot. When they’ve outgrown the 5” Big Tika, there is an 8″ version to make repotting your houseplants super easy. If you’re propagating, there is even a smaller 3″ version that you can use for seedlings and succulents!

When Style and Function Unite
Bring a pop of color
Planter pots with a good design are hard to find. With a soft, organic looking lip on both the pot and saucer and the all important drainage hole Big Tika is both stylish and functional.
These colorful pots are generously sized so that your plant, bloom, or succulent has space to grow and thrive..
- Each Big Tika is 8″ in diameter and 7.5″ tall.
- Each pot has a drainage hole on the bottom and a detachable saucer.
- Perfect for large houseplants, indoors or outdoors.
- Soft, organic looking lip on both the pot and saucer matched with a subtle Pantone palette that plays on the natural looking shape of the pot.
- I love the idea of lining your front porch steps with one in each size to make your neighbours jealous.
Key Features
Drainage HoleRoom to Breath Drainage holes allow water in the soil to drain freely so adequate air is available for the roots. While a plant may grow in a pot with no holes, water may build up making the soil soggy, which can lead to root rot. |
Detachable SaucerEasy Access to Excess Water Drainage of excess water is vital for the health of plant roots. Being able to quickly and easily remove any unnecessary water will help keep your plants happy and healthy for much longer. |
SizeForm and Function Why sacrifice design for plant care when you can have both? An 8″ pot is an all-purpose size for all your houseplant needs and more often than not the options for these size pots are limited. Chive excels at designing containers that keep your plants healthy while also looking good in your house. |

Using Your New Planter
You have a plant pot, now what?
Get yourself a plant!
Choose your favorite plant. We love succulents! Pick your plant based on its color, size and texture and what will look best in the planter. Give it a home with an indirect light source and that isn’t too cold or drafty. And don’t over water it, once a week is enough for most environments.
Now you need to get it into the planter!
1. Pots with a drainage hole will you save work. If your pot has drainage hole skip this step now; however if your pot doesn’t start with a layer of drainage rock on the bottom, then a layer of horticultural charcoal.
2. Pick the proper soil succulent/cacti soil or tropical soil or regular potting mix.
3. Make a hole in the dirt and gently place your plant inside. Succulents have dainty little roots so you’ll want to gently loosen the existing soil from them before planting, and gently cover them with the new soil, gently pressing the soil down over them.
4. Pick a spot to display and Enjoy!
