  •   Pothos 'Shangri La' is a rare pothos cultivar belonging to the genus Epipremnum, part of the Araceae family. Like other pothos varieties, it originates from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, where it climbs and trails through warm, humid environments. This low maintenance houseplant has earned serious collector appeal, and its unusual leaf form sets it apart from every other vining houseplant in the genus.

      Pothos 'Shangri La' is instantly recognizable by its distinctively curled, cupped leaves that fold inward along the midrib, giving it a crinkled, sleeping appearance that inspired its nickname "sleeping pothos." The foliage is a rich, dark green with a slightly textured surface, and each leaf holds its sculptural curl even as the plant matures. As a dark green trailing vine, it spills beautifully from shelves and hanging baskets, growing in a classic vining habit that begs for a good hanging hook.

      As an Epipremnum grown purely for its foliage, Pothos 'Shangri La' rarely if ever blooms in typical home conditions, so its visual appeal is entirely leaf-driven. What it lacks in flowers it more than makes up for in air-purifying power, actively filtering formaldehyde and other indoor toxins from your home. That combination of sculptural foliage and genuine function makes this rare pothos cultivar one of the most rewarding plants on a shelf.

      Pothos 'Shangri La' is a wonderful fit for terrariums, kitchen windowsills where it can soak up ambient moisture, or any bright room where it can trail from a high shelf. It thrives under office LEDs, survives a 10-day trip without you, and will even enjoy a sheltered outdoor spot in summer as long as it is covered from rain. Rotate it regularly for even, balanced growth, keep it away from AC and heater vents, and place it out of reach of pets and small children since the sap can cause skin and paw irritation and the plant should not be nibbled or eaten.

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

      Water Pothos 'Shangri La' every 10 to 14 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out completely between waterings.

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

      Pothos 'Shangri La' does best between 65-85°F (18-29°C) and should never be exposed to frost or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

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

      Pothos 'Shangri La' is hardy in USDA Zones 10-12, tolerating outdoor conditions only where frost never occurs, generally no lower than 35°F (2°C). In the continental United States, that includes frost-free regions of Southern California, South Florida, Hawaii, Southern Texas, Southern Arizona, and parts of coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. Gardeners growing Pothos 'Shangri La' outside those warm zones 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: Pothos 'Shangri La' features uniquely curled, cupped leaves that fold inward, earning its nickname "sleeping pothos" and making it a standout rare pothos cultivar compared to flat-leafed varieties.

    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: Why are the leaves on my Pothos 'Shangri La' turning yellow?
    A: Yellow leaves are most commonly caused by overwatering, so let the soil dry out more between waterings. Low light, drafts from AC or heaters, or the plant being moved can also trigger discoloration.

    Q: Is Pothos 'Shangri La' safe around pets and children?
    A: Cats and dogs should not be left to nibble or eat Pothos 'Shangri La', and the sap can cause skin and paw irritation on contact. Keep it on a high shelf out of reach of pets and best placed away from small children.

    Q: How much light does Pothos 'Shangri La' need indoors?
    A: Pothos 'Shangri La' grows happily in medium or bright indirect light and even tolerates low light, making it ideal under office LEDs or away from direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

    Q: Can Pothos 'Shangri La' go outside in summer?
    A: Yes, Pothos 'Shangri La' 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.

    🌿 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.
