Pothos 'Shangri La'

🔥🌿 Pothos ‘Shangri La’ / Epipremnum aureum ‘Shangri La’ 🌿🔥

Also known as: Sleeping Pothos, Godzilla Pothos

One of the quirkiest pothos cultivars, Shangri La is known for its heavily crinkled, twisted leaves that give it a “sleeping” or “rolled up” look. Unlike the flat, trailing leaves of most pothos, this variety has a unique texture that looks almost sculpted. It’s rare in cultivation and a fun conversation piece for collectors who want something unusual in their indoor jungle.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can adapt to medium light but may grow slower and less twisted. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaf edges.
💧 Water – Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out. Prefers evenly moist but well-draining soil. Overwatering can cause root rot.
🌡️ Humidity – Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50%+). Tolerates average household conditions but grows best in warm temps (65–85°F / 18–29°C).
🌱 Growth – Moderate grower. Trails or climbs when given support, though leaves keep their curled, sculptural form throughout maturity.

📊 Difficulty: Easy to Intermediate (low-maintenance but rare and slower to grow than typical pothos).

🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Contains calcium oxalate crystals that may irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
Its unusual twisted leaves are most pronounced in bright light and steady humidity. Train it on a moss pole for larger leaves, or let it spill from a hanging basket for a dramatic effect.
