Know before you buy
The 'Shangri La' is a unique cultivar of Epipremnum aureum known for its distinct, curled leaf structure. Unlike the flat leaves of common Pothos varieties, this plant features a crinkled, exotic texture that provides a much more sculptural look.
To maintain its vibrant appearance and fast growth rate, place your 'Shangri La' in a spot that receives bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, but ensure it isn't tucked away in a dark corner.
Not at all. The 'Shangri La' is considered an easy-care plant, making it a great choice for beginners or those who want a high-impact look with minimal maintenance. It requires only moderate watering and standard indoor humidity levels.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. We recommend placing it on a high shelf, in a hanging planter, or in a room that your animals cannot access.
Your 'Shangri La' will arrive established and already planted in a 4-inch pot. It is ready to be displayed immediately, though you may want to let it acclimate to your home's light levels for a few days before moving it to its permanent location.
The 'Shangri La' has a fast growth rate and a vining habit. As it matures, you can expect it to trail beautifully from a shelf or hanging basket, especially if provided with consistent light and regular care.
