Pothos Shangri La

Botanical Name: Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La'
Common Name(s): Shangri La Pothos, Godzilla Pothos, Sleeping Pothos

The Pothos Shangri La is a bold and unique cultivar of the classic pothos family, distinguished by its dramatically twisted, crinkled leaves. Unlike the flatter leaves of more traditional pothos varieties, the leaves of the Shangri La curl and fold inward, giving them a textured, sculptural look that resembles green origami. Its vibrant green color and highly ornamental leaf shape make it a striking addition to any plant collection, especially for those looking to add boldness and uniqueness to their indoor jungle.

With a more compact and upright growth habit than other pothos types, the Shangri La works well as a tabletop or shelf plant but can also trail gently over time. Its eye-catching structure makes it an ideal statement piece for plant lovers seeking something different but air purifying.

The Pothos Shangri La thrives in bright, indirect light but is adaptable enough to tolerate medium to low light conditions. However, stronger light encourages healthier, more robust growth and helps maintain its signature curled leaf form. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, being careful not to overwater. Like other pothos varieties, it prefers well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes to prevent root rot. Average room temperatures (65–85°F or 18–29°C) and humidity levels suit this plant well, though it will appreciate slightly higher humidity.

Air Purifying Qualities:

  • Toxin Removal: The Shangri La helps filter out common indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, toluene, and benzene, making it not just beautiful but functional in improving indoor air quality.

  • Oxygen Production: This plant contributes to a fresher indoor environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

  • Humidity Regulation: Through the natural process of transpiration, it can help maintain a healthier indoor humidity level, especially in air-conditioned or heated spaces.

Note: The Pothos Shangri La is toxic to pets if ingested, including cats and dogs. It’s best to place this plant in spots that are out of reach of curious pets to ensure their safety.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Fertilize regularly: Feed your Pothos Shangri La with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 3-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  2. Ideal Repotting mix: A mix with added perlite, orchid bark, or coco coir will provide good drainage and aeration while retaining some moisture.
  3. Wipe leaves regularly: Wipe the leaves down regularly to keep them clean and shiny.
  4. Provide support: As the plant grows, it may require a moss pole or trellis to support its vining growth.
  5. Be patient: Pothos plants are relatively slow growers, so don't be discouraged if they don't grow rapidly.
