The Ryan is a self-watering porcelain plant pot — the only self-watering pot in the Chive range. A reservoir below the soil delivers water upward through a wicking mechanism as the plant needs it, keeping soil moisture consistent without daily attention. Made of porcelain. Includes a matching saucer.

Ryan runs the plant shop in Toronto and for a long time the most common thing he heard, several times a day, every day, was a question about self-watering pots. We resisted this for as long as we reasonably could. Eventually we made one, mostly to make the questions stop, and named it Ryan, which felt fair given the circumstances. Ryan the pot now does the self-watering. Ryan the person still gets asked about it anyway, which he has decided not to mention to us directly but we know, because we made the pot, and the pot has a name, and names like that travel. It is made of porcelain, which is objectively too nice a material for a pot whose entire purpose is to stop a coworker from being asked the same question forty times a day, but here we are.

Pothos and peace lilies grow well in the Ryan — both prefer consistent moisture and neither wants to dry out between waterings. McKee Botanical Garden carries the Ryan in its gift shop. Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens stocks it.
