Know before you buy
The 'Shangri La' is a unique mutation of the Golden Pothos. While it shares the same hardiness, it is distinguished by its tightly contorted, curled leaves and a more compact, textured appearance.
No, the Pothos 'Shangri La' is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals, such as a high shelf or a hanging planter.
To keep the yellow variegation vibrant and the growth healthy, place your plant in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, you may notice slower growth and less pronounced color patterns.
Not at all. Despite its exotic look, it follows the same easy-care routine as other Pothos varieties. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings and provide moderate humidity.
Yes, it has a trailing growth habit. As the vines mature, they will naturally cascade over the edges of the pot, making it an excellent choice for a hanging basket or a high mantle.
