  •   Pothos 'Shangri La', also called Sleeping Pothos, is a rare cultivar of the genus Epipremnum, part of the Araceae family. It originates from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, where it grows as a trailing vine through warm, humid canopy environments. This houseplant has serious collector appeal for its leaf structure that differs from all other pothos varieties.

      The plant is recognizable by its distinctively curled, cupped leaves that fold inward along the midrib, creating a crinkled, sleeping appearance. Foliage is dark green with a slightly textured surface, and each leaf holds its sculptural curl even as it matures. It grows as a dark green trailing vine from shelves and hanging baskets in a classic vining habit.

      As an Epipremnum grown purely for foliage, it rarely blooms in typical home conditions. It actively filters formaldehyde and other indoor toxins from your home.

      Pothos 'Shangri La' works in terrariums, kitchen windowsills where it can absorb ambient moisture, or any bright room where it can trail from a high shelf. Rotate it regularly for even, balanced growth, and keep it away from air conditioning and heater vents. The sap can cause skin and paw irritation, so place it out of reach of pets and small children. You can leave it up to ten days without water.

  •   Pothos 'Shangri La' grows well in medium to bright indirect light but adapts well to low light conditions indoors.

      Water it every 10 to 14 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out completely between waterings.

      Pothos 'Shangri La' does best in a well-draining mix of standard potting soil blended with perlite for aeration.

      It prefers temperatures between 65 and 85°F and should never be exposed to frost or temperatures below 50°F.

      Pothos 'Shangri La' is a moderately fast vining grower that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month in spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 10–12, tolerating outdoor conditions only where frost never occurs, generally no lower than 35°F. It grows outdoors in Southern California, South Florida, Hawaii, Southern Texas, Southern Arizona, and parts of coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. Gardeners in all other regions should treat it as an indoor plant year-round or bring it inside well before autumn temperatures drop.
  • Q: What makes Pothos 'Shangri La' different from other pothos varieties?
    A: The uniquely curled, cupped leaves fold inward along the midrib, creating a crinkled appearance that other flat-leafed pothos varieties do not have.

    Q: Why are the leaves turning yellow?
    A: Pothos 'Shangri La' develops yellow leaves most commonly from overwatering; check if the pot lacks drainage holes or if you're watering on a fixed schedule rather than waiting for the soil to dry. Environmental stress from cold drafts, sudden location changes, or dim light can also cause yellowing.

    Q: How do I propagate Pothos 'Shangri La'?
    A: Take a stem cutting just below a node, remove the lower leaves, and place it in water or moist perlite until roots develop. Move it to soil once roots reach about an inch long.

    Q: Is the plant safe around pets and children?
    A: Pothos 'Shangri La' should not be nibbled or eaten by cats and dogs, and the sap can cause skin and paw irritation on contact. Keep it on a high shelf out of reach of pets and away from small children.

    Q: Can Sleeping Pothos go outside in summer?
    A: It can move outdoors in summer in a sheltered, shaded spot, but keep it covered from rain and bring it back inside before temperatures cool in autumn.

    Q: How much light does it need to grow well indoors?
    A: Sleeping Pothos grows under office LEDs and in spaces away from direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Medium or bright indirect light produces the best growth, though it tolerates low light.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
