Curated Indoor Plants — Designed to Pair Beautifully with H Potter

Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides) is the definition of modern, effortless style—round “lily pad” leaves that float on slender stems and gently bob with the air in your home. Look closely and you’ll spot the signature pale dot near the top of each leaf where the stem connects—one of the details plant lovers adore.

What to expect: Leaves naturally face toward the light. Rotate your plant occasionally for an even, symmetrical shape.
Why trust H Potter: For nearly 30 years, we’ve built pieces meant to live in real conditions. As we expand into plants, we’re applying the same standard—practical care guidance, careful packing, and styling that feels finished.

Care Guide

Light Bright, indirect light

Place near a bright window with filtered light. Rotate occasionally so growth stays balanced and symmetrical.

Water Let the top dry slightly

Water thoroughly, then allow excess to drain. Wait until the top portion of soil dries slightly before watering again.

Growth Expect “pups” over time

Many Pileas produce small offshoots. You can leave them for a fuller plant or separate them later once established.

Simple success rule: Bright light + a drying cycle between waterings = the happiest, best-shaped plant.
48-Hour Arrival & Unboxing

Live plants can look a little travel-worn after shipping. A quick reset helps them acclimate and settle in fast.

When What to Do Why It Helps
Immediately Unbox promptly and remove packing materials gently around stems. Prevents leaf/stem stress and allows airflow.
First 2–6 hours Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun day one. Reduces stress during acclimation.
First 24 hours Check soil moisture before watering. Avoids overwatering right after transit.
Within 48 hours Water only if top soil feels dry; let it drain fully. Supports recovery without waterlogging roots.
What’s normal after shipping: Slight droop or leaf tilt toward light. Give it stable light and time to adjust.

Shipping & Live Plant Handling

Live plants are packed with care and ship on a schedule designed to protect plant health in transit. Here’s what our packing process looks like—from soil protection to final presentation—so your plant arrives clean, stable, and ready to enjoy.

Our Packing & Shipping Process
STEP 1

We use wood fiber to cover our soil to help prevent soil spillage.

STEP 2

The wood fiber is placed over the soil, right under the foliage.

STEP 3

We then use a plastic bag to cover the planter and wood fiber portion of the plant.

STEP 4

Next we secure it tightly with a zip-tie.

STEP 5

We place the houseplant in a paper bag and secure it with a rubber band.

STEP 6

The paper bag acts as the final cover and is also a nice presentation.

  • Delivery timing: Tracking will be provided so you can track your package while it travels

FAQs

Why is it called a Friendship Plant?

Pileas often produce offsets (“pups”) that can be shared and propagated—one reason it’s commonly called a friendship plant.

What light is best for Chinese Money Plant?

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Rotate the plant occasionally to keep growth even and symmetrical.

How often should I water it?

Water when the top portion of soil dries slightly, then let excess drain. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.

Do the leaves really “move”?

Yes—leaves can gently bob and reorient toward light sources, which is part of the plant’s charm.

Is the plant exactly the same as the photos?

Live plants vary naturally. Leaf size, spacing, and overall shape can differ—each plant is unique.

Is it safe around pets?

If you have pets or small children, we recommend placing plants out of reach. For pet-specific guidance, consult a veterinary resource for your household.

Easy to Install and Looks Great
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
These floating shelves are a great addition to my daughter room space! They were very easy to install, and the instructions were clear and straightforward. The material feels solid and durable. I also really appreciated that the package included all the necessary hardware and materials, which made the setup even more convenient. They look great on the wall and serve their purpose perfectly. Highly recommend!

Quality Assurance Lacking
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
The first set I ordered was great; super easy to install, no issues. The second set I ordered the holes on the bottom of the shelves did not match up with the holes on the bar that secures the shelves to the wall so it was impossible to attach the shelves correctly. I'm still trying to figure out a solution. TO SUMMARIZE: First set perfect; second set unusable

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome. The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings. One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐 These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.
