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.

  • Shipping regions: We ship within the lower 48 United States
  • Weather considerations: Shipments may be delayed when the team determines conditions are too cold for plants to arrive safely
  • Delivery timing: Tracking will be provided so you can track your package while it travels
  • Live arrival policy: If a plant does not have a safe arrival please text images to 208-640-4206 along with your name and order number

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.

Great earring tree!I
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
I like this earring tree more than I’d expected to! It holds a lot of earrings, is very sturdy and stable, and cute. It also has a little nest basket where you can put items like bracelets and rings. I love that I can see my earring options, and find the ones that best go with my outfit when getting ready for work in the morning. I’m glad it’s metal, almost a work of art, vs cheap plastic. It’s a pleasure to look at, not just functionally useful.

Exactly what I wanted!
It is really exactly what I was looking for. I've been living with my jewelry in ziplock bags since we moved over here and everything fits perfect. I saw some reviews that claimed it was unstable but I tested it and it seems sturdy though I'm not hanging heavy pieces. It is a nice size and I love the little ring basket. It also feels pretty decent quality too. Glad I got the black one as I'm not sure where I have it that the copper/bronze would look right. I think it is elegant, practical and I wish I could post a photo with my pieces on it to show that it really holds things beautifully.

Looks great by my bed!
Even my boyfriend keeps commenting how much he likes it. It's a usable piece of art! I will comment that the earring holes can be a little tricky since the leaves are turned all different ways. You have to be strategic with how you line up your long/dangle-y earrings with your studs so everybody fits and can be seen. A little tricky. But not a deal breaker - especially when it's so easy on the eye. The other slight negative is that this really isn't the best necklace holder. I would have thought, "No problem!" But it's a bit awkward. Especially if you actually intend to see all your earrings. You'll end up hanging most of your necklaces from the top most branch - but they slide down into the crevice to stay. Then you've got a lot of overlapping. And trickiness to retrieve the exact necklace you want with ease. However, this is still a fabulous earring tree. I can't say enough good things about it. Love the little basket for miscellaneous. Hair bands, lip gloss, etc.

Beautiful jewelry display
Color: Bronze-Tone
A few rough edges, but all in all well made and attractive. Holds lots of earrings and I can drape my necklaces on the tree. There's a nice bowl for bracelets and a nice tray that forms the base.

Gorgeous
Color: Bronze-Tone
It really is pretty to look at. To be honest arranging the earring on the tree is a bit of a pain, because the leaves tilt in different directions, and you have to play with it a bit to get the earrings to hang the way you would like them, but once you figure it out, they look very nice. I just adore it because it looks so pretty. I use the basket on the side for rings and watches, and the little plate in the base for a few miscellaneous pieces like necklaces or bracelets for balance and because they look nice. You'll love it.
