Epipremnum Shangri La
Shangri La Pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘Shangri La’) is a cultivar of the Golden Pothos or Devil’s Ivy. It’s an unusual plant with dark green, rolled-up leaves, and ribbed or crinkled foliage texture. The best way to describe it is by comparing it to cooked spinach or kale.
This pothos variety has several common names, including:
- Sleeping Pothos
- Ooh La La Pothos
- Green Javelin Pothos
- Godzilla Pothos
- Spinach Pothos
In many ways, Pothos Shangri La is the embodiment of wabi-sabi. This Japanese aesthetic finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence. This plant’s scrunched-up leaves, which sometimes tend to unfurl, may not fit everyone’s idea of beauty. But it is precisely the imperfect look of the foliage that gives this cultivar its unique charm.
Basic Care
This houseplant grows best in bright indirect light. Therefore, a room with eastern or western exposure would be ideal for this plant. However, avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the foliage and cause the leaves to open up.
On the other hand, low light will make this pothos grow slower and can also result in bare, leggy stems. If you have a variegated cultivar, keeping it in a dark room will also make the leaves lose their colors and patterns.
Shangri La Pothos has moderate watering requirements. To keep it healthy, water it when the top 2 inches (5 cm) of the soil feel dry to the touch. Test the soil with your finger, then give the plant a deep, thorough soak.
