Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La', also known as Pothos 'Shangri La', is a fascinating variant of Epipremnum aureum, famous for its unique foliage and ease of cultivation. This popular houseplant is distinguished by its deep, lobed, almost jagged dark green leaves, which give it a lush, bushy appearance.
Origin: Epipremnum aureum is native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. 'Shangri La' is a cultivated selection that has been developed for its unique aesthetic characteristics.
Growth: This plant features compact, bushy growth, with stems that extend and drape elegantly. Its singular leaves create a dense visual effect, making it a great choice for adding texture and volume to any interior space.
Flowers: As with most Epipremnum strains, indoor flowering is rare and will only bloom in mature form. 'Shangri La' is mainly grown for its decorative foliage rather than its flowers.
Light: Prefers medium indirect light but can adapt to low-light conditions, making it ideal for low-light interiors. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
Watering: Watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings. 'Shangri La' is drought tolerant, but regular hydration promotes healthy growth.
Substrate: A well-draining potting soil mix is recommended. A standard houseplant substrate, enriched with perlite, ensures good drainage and supports the growth of the plant.
Toxicity: Like other members of the Araceae family, Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La' contains calcium oxalate crystals which can be irritating if ingested. It is therefore advisable to keep it out of reach of children and pets.
