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.

Comfortable chair
Color: Cream, Size: PU Leather(No Wheels)
Ordered this chair for my daughter for Christmas. It's a great chair. It's very comfortable. She wishes it had wheels. I didn't see a way to add wheels to this base, either. Still a good chair. You have to make sure where you put it you can spin to get out of it. Pushing it back and forth on carpet doesn't work well.

Great Office Chair
I purchased this chair to replace the old one in my son's room. I really like the look and style of this chair. It was easy for me to assemble and the riser functions really good and the stability of the base is very good. I like the wide design as it has more back support and seat support.

Comfortable, Stylish, and Great for Casual Seating
The OLIXIS Criss Cross Legged Chair is a really nice option if you prefer sitting cross-legged or want a wider, more relaxed seating style compared to a traditional office chair. The armless design and wide seat make it easy to shift positions throughout the day without feeling restricted. Comfort-wise, the padding is decent and supportive for short to moderate sitting sessions. The adjustable height and swivel function work smoothly, and it’s easy to find a comfortable position whether you’re working at a desk, doing makeup, or just using it casually in a bedroom or home office setup. The minimalist look is also a plus—it blends well with modern decor and doesn’t take up as much visual space as bulky office chairs. Assembly was fairly straightforward and didn’t take long. One thing to note is that since it has no wheels, it’s not ideal if you need to move around your workspace frequently. Also, while it’s comfortable, it may not be the best choice for long, full workdays compared to a high-back ergonomic chair with more lumbar support. Overall, this is a stylish and functional chair that works great for light office use, studying, or casual seating—especially if you like the criss-cross sitting position.

Perfect “Hair-Doing” Command Chair
Color: Leather-beige, Size: Luxurious(With Wheels), Color: Leather-beige, Size: Luxurious(With Wheels)
As a physician, mom, and military officer, my mornings already feel like a tactical operation: breakfast, cartoons, and hair time before we roll out. My old high‑back desk chair turned every ponytail into a wrestling match with the chair back. This low‑back, armless chair has officially become my hair‑doing command center. What I love: • Low back + no arms = easy kid access. My daughter sits facing the desk, snuggled in her blanket, eating breakfast and watching TV. I can stand right behind her and actually reach her hair without a chair back or armrests blocking my elbows. No more asking her to twist sideways and slowly slide off the chair while I chase her head. • Wide, comfy seat for both of us. The seat is generous and supportive with thick cushions. I have plenty of room and my daughter is perfectly comfortable for our whole morning routine. She’s happy, I’m not bent at weird angles, and the whole process is smoother (and quieter!). • Looks and feels more expensive than it is. The faux leather upholstery is gorgeous in person and feels soft and substantial, not flimsy. It blends right in with our bedroom furniture and doesn’t scream “office chair.” • Thoughtful packaging & painless assembly. Everything arrived in perfect condition, very well protected in the box. The instructions were clear, all hardware was labeled, and it took me under 10 minutes to assemble by myself. • Glides & adjusts smoothly. The chair rolls, swivels, and raises/lowers easily and quietly. No squeaks, no sticking. I can move her closer to the desk or spin her toward me with one hand while holding a hairbrush in the other. A quick heads‑up: The chair is on the larger side (which I personally love), so if you’re looking for a tiny, petite chair, check the measurements. For me, the extra space is exactly what I wanted. Bottom line: If you also use your bedroom desk as a hair‑doing station, homework hub, or breakfast bar, this chair is a game‑changer. Comfortable, stylish, easy to assemble, and priced competitively with similar chairs—while actually making our chaotic mornings run a little smoother.

The perfect desk chair for sitting cross-legged—plus it rolls!
Color: Leather-beige, Size: Luxurious(With Wheels), Color: Leather-beige, Size: Luxurious(With Wheels)
This chair is absolutely amazing if you like to sit cross-legged while working. The seat is incredibly wide, giving you plenty of room to get comfortable without feeling cramped against the armrests. The smooth faux leather is awesome. I am honestly impressed with the price vs quality. The padding is nice for my 13 yr old daughter to sit cross legged on. The cushion is thick and supportive, and it has held its shape really well without flattening out. I also love that this specific model has wheels—a lot of these wide cross-legged chairs come with flat bases, so having the mobility to roll around my desk space is a huge plus. It looks high-end, feels sturdy, and was very straightforward to assemble. 10/10 recommend!
