Pothos ‘Shangri La’ is a unique and eye-catching cultivar that stands out from typical pothos varieties due to its heavily crinkled, twisted foliage. Each leaf curls inward like a scroll, giving the plant a sculptural, almost fantasy-like appearance. While it shares the same hardy genetics as other pothos, ‘Shangri La’ is a rarer find and often prized by collectors for its unusual texture. Like many pothos, it traces its origins to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and the Solomon Islands, thriving in warm, humid climates.
For best results indoors, place your ‘Shangri La’ in bright, indirect light—such as a few feet from a west- or east-facing window. Too little light may cause the plant to grow more slowly and reduce the characteristic twisting of the leaves, while too much direct sunlight can lead to scorching. It prefers a chunky, well-draining soil mix, and watering should be done only when the top inch of the soil is dry. This pothos enjoys average household humidity but will thrive even more with a slight boost in moisture.
Maintenance is simple: occasional pruning helps control shape and encourages new growth, while monthly fertilizing during the growing season supports lush, compact foliage. Keep leaves clean by gently wiping them with a damp cloth to remove dust, which allows them to photosynthesize more efficiently. ‘Shangri La’ is a slow to moderate grower, but its whimsical look makes it a standout centerpiece in any indoor plant display. It's perfect for plant parents looking for something just a little more magical.

I ordered a Monstera Thai constellation and it's beautiful! I have to admit I was a little nervous about the shipping but the plant was all bundled up and packaged beautifully. The monstera was in great condition and much larger than I thought it was going to be. I will be purchasing from you guys again!

My plant subscription is the highlight of my month! I am always shocked on how beautiful the plants Mel picked out for me are and that they are so well packaged. Excited to see new plant babies will arrive next month!

Look forward to getting the shipping notification in my email! Box with my plants always comes packaged well and with beautiful selection of plants! I hope this subscription option never ends!

Always amazing when ordering from Mel.

Amazing and healthy plant, arrived in perfect condtiiton. A+++

i think all mystery boxes should come with name cards and care sheets. but overall quality was impeccable

I purchased a Eucalyptus. The plant took longer than expected. No fault of the seller, I live in a rural area and out USPS isn’t the best. The plant arrived alive and unstressed. Very beautifully packaged. Will definitely purchase again.
