Curated Indoor Plants — Designed to Pair Beautifully with H Potter

Maidenhair Fern curated by H Potter—airy fan-shaped leaflets on dark stems. Loves humidity and indirect light. Available in 4" and 6" nursery pots.

The Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum) is delicate in the best way—soft, fan-shaped leaflets float on slender black stems, creating a light, elegant silhouette. It’s a classic choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and any space that naturally holds a little humidity. While it can be a bit particular about moisture, a consistent routine is rewarded with lush, vibrant growth.

What to expect: Ferns may shed a few fronds after shipping as they adjust. Stable placement, steady moisture, and humidity help it bounce back.
Why trust H Potter: For nearly 30 years, we’ve built outdoor and indoor pieces meant to live in real conditions. As we expand into plants, we’re applying the same standard—practical care guidance, protective packing, and styling that feels finished.

Care Guide

Light Bright, indirect light

Place near a bright window with filtered light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can dry and scorch delicate fronds.

Water Keep evenly moist

Maidenhair Fern prefers steady moisture. Water when the surface begins to feel slightly dry—before the pot dries out completely. Always allow excess water to drain.

How to know it’s time: The very top feels just barely dry, but the soil underneath is still lightly moist.

Humidity Higher humidity helps it thrive

Humidity is the secret to happy Maidenhair fronds. Bathrooms and kitchens are often ideal. In drier rooms, try a pebble tray or a small humidifier nearby.

Temperature Stable is best

Keep away from cold drafts and heat vents. A steady indoor environment helps prevent frond drop and crisping.

Beginner success rule: For Maidenhair, consistency wins—steady moisture + humidity + gentle light.
48-Hour Arrival & Unboxing

Ferns can be sensitive to travel. A calm setup helps them recover quickly.

When What to Do Why It Helps
Immediately Unbox promptly; gently free fronds from packing. Prevents stem breakage and bruising.
First 2–6 hours Place in bright, indirect light—no direct sun. Reduces stress while it acclimates.
First 24 hours Check soil moisture; water if the surface is drying. Ferns dislike drying out after transit.
Within 48 hours Add humidity (bathroom placement, pebble tray, or humidifier). Supports frond recovery and new growth.
What’s normal after shipping: A few fronds may shed or crisp at the tips. Stable placement and humidity usually improves it quickly.

An Unforgettable Fantasy Read
Format: Paperback
⭐️3.75/5 stars ⭐️ I can’t, in good faith, talk about this book without mentioning the end. If you are a reader who despises cliffhangers, you might want to add this to your TBR (and you’re going to want to read it) until the sequel is announced, because I am STILL reeling over that ending. This cliffhanger is the cliff that keeps on giving. It’s going to stay with me until the day I get to read Book 2. Why are you going to want to read The Death-Made Prince anyway? First and foremost is the world that Lisette Marshall has created with such a unique and refreshing magic system! I was hooked from the first mention of runes and necromancy. Linguistics is a subject that has always fascinated me, both in reality and in fantasy. Seeing Thraga’s runic witchcraft described as a formulaic language made both my mathematician and reader hearts throb with anticipation. Moreover, I loved Marshall’s take on necromancy - I didn’t realize how literal the “death-made” title for Durlain would be! In The Death-Made Prince, Marshall really does combine a variety of magical elements to create a fantasy world that is hard to leave. But what also makes The Death-Made Prince hard to ignore are the characters. Thraga and Durlain both have their tragic backstories, but it’s what lies beyond their backstories that truly make them stand out. Thraga is a runewitch with OCD and anxiety, and I just have to say that the representation is ON POINT. On the other hand, Durlain is a loveable black cat MMC who tries so hard to be an idiot (and does succeed). While their enemies-to-lovers relationship is a slow, slow, SLOW burn, it makes it all worth it in the “end.” The banter between them is top-notch and had me hooked and invested throughout. There were times when their banter was the only thing that kept me reading. The first 50% was slow and I had some trouble staying invested. BUT, I will encourage any reader who looks at my review to STICK WITH IT. The last 20-30% of the book made it oh so worth it. It really picks up once Durlain and Thraga arrive at the Dawn House (iykyk), featuring secrets, lies, and espionage. Oh, and of course the sexual tension. From then on, the plot moved quickly, and I couldn’t put my Kindle down. And then, there was the cliffhanger. But you already knew that. All in all, The Death-Made Prince introduced a fantasy world that I am loath to leave (even if for a little bit). While the beginning was slow and seemed to drag on, the end was amazing and I do not, and never will, regret reading it. Catch me again when Book 2 is announced… Thank you to Lisette Marshall and the team at Behind the Pages for letting me read an early copy of The Death-Made Prince! I’m honored to give my honest thoughts on this book and support its release.

amazing characters
Format: Kindle
These characters were fascinating. They were very damaged but also strong survivors. There was a sarcastic banter between them which I loved. The female lead grew from seeing herself as small but by the end she recognized her many strengths-which she will need to use to escape after a betrayal by the make lead. Best book that I have read in long time.

thorn of mine and in my side
Format: Kindle
This book really was a thorn in my side because I was spite reading until 60% though simply so I didn’t have to DNF it. Look. I read 2-3 books a week and it took me a week and a half to trudge through this. I don’t know why everyone is freaking out about how good it is because it’s not original, it’s boring, is so confusing, and literally put me to sleep more times than I can count. This is a 2.5⭐️ book rounded up because once I made it to 60% there was enough going on that I could follow it and my interest peaked enough to not DNF. I fear for the next book because this one needs work. I still don’t know who is who or what kingdom they belong to. Truly, this was not set up or executed well. I did however, truly love when he started calling her “thorn of mine”. I thought that was toxic cuteness at its finest. But wow, what a mess.

enjoyable read
Format: Kindle
I read a ton of romantasy books. This was one of the better ones I read in the past year. The plot is interesting and not repetitive. The slow burn is satisfying. I like that the heroine finds her voice and power along the way

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo
