Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La' – curled-leaf pothos with a compact, sculptural look

Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La' is one of the strangest-looking pothos forms in cultivation. Instead of flat, open leaves, it produces thick, twisted foliage that stays folded, crinkled, and curled as it matures. That gives the plant a tighter, more sculptural look than standard Epipremnum aureum and makes it stand out even before the vines begin to lengthen.

This is why 'Shangri La' works differently from other pothos on a shelf or in a hanging pot. It still trails or climbs over time, but the curled leaves make the plant look denser, more textured, and less flowing than broad-leaved forms such as 'Marble Queen' or standard golden pothos. The result is architectural rather than soft.

What makes Epipremnum 'Shangri La' look so different

  • Leaf form: Leaves stay twisted, curled, and partly folded instead of flattening out in the usual pothos way.
  • Surface texture: The foliage feels thicker and more structured than in standard Epipremnum aureum, with visible ridging and irregular contours.
  • Colour: Most plants stay deep green, sometimes with lighter green or yellow-green variation depending on the clone and growing conditions.
  • Plant shape: Young plants often look dense and upright at first, then become more trailing or climbing with age.
  • Growth character: Compared with typical pothos forms, the habit is usually more compact and visually tighter.
  • Indoor presence: Even a small plant looks distinct because the curled foliage changes the whole silhouette.

Species background and what the name 'Shangri La' refers to

  • Accepted species: Epipremnum aureum, a member of Araceae
  • Native origin of species: Mo'orea in French Polynesia
  • Natural habit of the species: Tropical climber that uses aerial roots to move across trunks and other surfaces.
  • Trade use: 'Shangri La' is commonly sold as a curled-leaf or “Sleeping Pothos” type of Epipremnum aureum.
  • Indoor flowering: Like other cultivated forms of Epipremnum aureum, it is grown for foliage and flowers are extremely rare indoors.
  • Toxicity: Plant tissue contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is not safe for pets or people to chew.

Care priorities for Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La' indoors

  • Light: Bright, indirect light keeps growth compact and helps the plant produce stronger, better-shaped leaves. It tolerates dimmer placement, but growth usually loosens and slows.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then let roughly the top 30–40% of the substrate dry before watering again. Constant wetness around the roots leads to more trouble than a short dry pause.
  • Substrate: Use a loose, airy mix that drains well but still holds some moisture. A blend based on potting mix or coco coir with bark and perlite works well.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually enough, though around 40–60% helps new leaves develop more cleanly.
  • Temperature: Aim for 18–29°C and avoid prolonged cold, cold drafts, or a wet root zone in cool conditions.
  • Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer at low to moderate strength every 4–6 weeks while the plant is actively growing.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot heavily or when the substrate has broken down and no longer dries evenly. Increase pot size only slightly.

How 'Shangri La' behaves when trailing, climbing, or being cut back

  • As a trailing plant: Left unsupported, the stems eventually lengthen and hang, but the curled leaves keep the plant looking denser than flatter-leaved pothos.
  • As a climber: On a pole, plank, or trellis, aerial roots can attach and support stronger upward growth over time.
  • Pruning: Cutting just above a node helps maintain a fuller shape and keeps long, bare stretches from developing.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings with at least one node root readily in water or lightly moist substrate when kept warm.
  • Water culture and mineral substrates: This form can adapt to water culture or inert mineral substrates if the transition is gradual and the nutrient supply stays steady.
  • Routine upkeep: Because the leaves stay folded, check hidden surfaces regularly for dust, trapped debris, or early pest activity.

Problems that are easy to misread on Epipremnum 'Shangri La'

  • Naturally curled leaves: The twisted foliage is the defining feature of the cultivar and should not be mistaken for dehydration by default.
  • Yellow leaves: Usually point to roots staying wet too long, poor drainage, or a potting mix that has compacted.
  • Soft stems or blackened nodes: Commonly indicate rot after wet and cold conditions around the roots.
  • Drooping growth: Often linked to drought stress, root trouble, or sudden temperature drop rather than the curled leaf form itself.
  • Small, weak new growth: Usually caused by low light, depleted substrate, strong root congestion, or missed feeding over time.
  • Pests: Mealybugs, spider mites, thrips, and scale can hide more easily in the folded foliage, so regular inspection matters more than on flatter-leaved forms.

Name notes for Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La'

Epipremnum comes from Greek and refers to growth upon a trunk, matching the species’ natural climbing habit. aureum means “golden,” referring to the yellow-marked wild type rather than the deep green look usually seen in this form. The name 'Shangri La' is used commercially for this curled-leaf selection, while “Sleeping Pothos” refers to the way the leaves appear folded or half-closed.

Choose 'Shangri La' if you want texture instead of ordinary trailing foliage

If you want an easy indoor climber with unusual leaf structure rather than standard flat pothos foliage, Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La' is a strong choice. With bright indirect light, an airy mix, and a sensible watering rhythm, it stays compact, distinctive, and much more sculptural than typical Epipremnum forms.

Hydrating Itch Relief for Sensitive, Reactive Skin
I recently dealt with an allergic reaction that left me with red, intensely itchy hives across my body. Medication helped calm most of the symptoms, but this itch relief balm from Aveeno made a noticeable difference in soothing the lingering itch and rehydrating my irritated skin. The formula is very concentrated, so only a small amount is needed to cover a large area, and it begins to work quickly. There is no added fragrance, which is ideal when your skin is already reactive and sensitive. The jar is generously sized, and the wide opening makes it easy to dip your fingertips in and smooth the balm over affected areas without fuss. The texture spreads well, absorbs cleanly, and leaves the skin feeling comforted rather than coated. I found it especially helpful during the recovery phase when my skin still felt dry and unsettled. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with post‑reaction itch or general irritation.

Really good eczema lotion for 4 month old baby
Love this lotion. I’ve been using it for almost two weeks now on my baby who has eczema, I didn’t wanna waste money on the baby version because what if it isn’t as powerful so I got this one and now my baby’s cheeks aren’t red and spotty. Honestly didn’t think it would work but it’s working great, I add it all over his body especially his face after he showers and it helps his itchiness at night. During the day I add some if the redness looks like it’s coming back and it ends up going away mid day. I’ve used about 4-5 other lotions that didn’t work so I’m very happy about this one.

LOVE THIS!
I have allergies and overall just super sensitive skin. Sometimes I just randomly get itchy or get hives. I bought this during a time I was trying all the lotions just to find something that would help. To be honest, I shower in the morning and apply this and it helped my skin tremendously. I wouldn’t be itchy after showers. Hives were few and far between.

AMAZING! Works better than my RX
After being prescribed hydrocortisone 2.5% to help with my eczema I felt it wasn't doing enough. Healing time was slow and the scaling itching was still bad at night. I don't know why it took me so long to try the Aveeno Eczema line, I really wish I did sooner. This product is AMAZING! I started using this twice a day AM/PM after washing my face with cold water only and stopped using the hydrocortisone completely. My skin healed in 5 days!

Aveeno Eczema nighttime balm
I love Aveeno. This is my first purchase of the Eczema nighttime balm. It is super thick. It feels like Vaseline. It does feel greasy after you put it on. Obviously it is for eczema so it has to be moisturizing. I do have eczema. Aveeno lotions imo do not feel greasy after you apply which is why I love their lotions. This balm is definitely perfect for applying at nighttime to help heal your skin while you have some down time. My skin always splits due to extremely dry skin even though I use lotions every time I wash my hands and after showers. This would be perfect after a shower to lock in the moisture. I would definitely recommend. I use the silicone “socks” at night when my feet are in need of moisture. This would be perfect to use before putting on the silicone socks. The silicone socks do feel like chicken cutlets being put on your feet but in the morning when you take them off my feet are so soft and smooth. I can turn the jar upside down and it didn’t move, that’s how thick it is. I will purchase again.
