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.

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.

These are great!
Size: 2.5" x 5.1"
I've had these for about a year year and a half and I really like them this morning the salt shaker broke, so I just ordered another set (they're not sold individually) to replace the one that broke. If you should happen to drop them on the floor the plastic top will crack!!

Great addition in my kitchen
Size: 1.7" x 5.1"
I really like these grinders. They are perfect size. I use them for other seasonings that I want to grind up for marinating or cooking. They are adjustable so if I want larger or smaller grinds, easily do-able. Great value for the price. They look nice and are easy to use. Also easy to clean.

Doesn't last
Size: 2.5" x 5.1", Size: 2.5" x 5.1"
This grinder appeared to work great and is one of the few ceramic options available. Unfortunately, the ceramic grinder has already broken inside, detaching from the bottle altogether. There are probably tiny plastic pieces in my leftover peppercorns. Don't buy it unless you want to purchase it every few months, which is unfortunate.

Very nice, work well, good gift at a reasonable price
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
I've owned a few different brands and types of grinders before, and these are quite similar. The last set I purchased had the exact same grinder heads, just on smaller glass bottoms. The grinders on those became, unfortunately, unusable due to clogging that resulted in breakage of the ceramic gear. I worry that, since these new grinders have the same heads on them, that these won't last longer than the last set. However, I read reviews of the "best" grinders out there, and these came just behind a more (much more) expensive set with metal gears instead of ceramic. They'd last longer, you might think, however, it was also mentioned that salt corrodes metal and so that's why the vast majority of grinders, mostly intended for use with salt, are made of ceramic. So why would I spend five times the price on the expensive ones? So far, I'm very pleased with this set. They're much more comfortable to use than my previous set, which had way smaller glass bases. I can really get a good grip on these. The little "dial" on the bottom, to adjust the coarseness of the grind, moves very smoothly on these. It was so difficult to turn the dials on the previous set - and mind you, these are exactly the same as the new ones - that I had to use a pair of pliers to turn them. Strange. I see this identical grinding mechanism on several of the grinders available on Amazon, so it makes sense to assume they're all sourced from the same manufacturer by different vendors. These also hold about twice the amount as my previous set - not a major hassle to refill, but nice not to have to bother with it as often. Quite elegant looking, too. The set comes with a nifty metal holder with prongs on either side that the grinders snap into place securely for transport from kitchen to dining table. They're inexpensive enough that you can easily afford to buy two sets for each end of your table. That's a nice touch if you're having several dinner guests or a large family, so you don't have to pass the salt and pepper around. I guess the $100 set with the metal gears might last longer, even with inevitable salt corrosion, but these will likely last a good long while with their ceramic gears and, if they do break down sooner, at least you could buy four or five of these sets for the same price. I recommend this set.
