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

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.

Mouth rinse that has no alcohol and works like no other I have experienced.
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 33.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Biotene Oral Rinse mouthwash was the answer for a pre-rinse mouth wash, even before bed to leave my mouth sweet and moist. Instead of having to drink something or taste something - - - so I won't eat something before bed. It's been a miracle answer for pre-bed and dry mouth during a sleep period and wakening dryer than I want to be. I used to use Biotene "dry mouth spray", now I don't have to because the Oral mouthwash is my go to! enough said!!

I sleep through the night! My mouth isn't drier than a desert! Happier teeth and mouth!
Flavor Name: Slightly Sweet, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Slightly Sweet, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
The reason I started looking for a solution to my dry mouth was at a regular dental cleaning they said I had several cavities and it appeared as the cause was dry mouth. They asked about my medications and sure enough 2 of them cause dry mouth as a side effect. One I quit taking but the other is necessary. So I had several fillings and the dentist suggested I look for some over the counter help for dry mouth. I tried some lozenges during the day and they were ok but didn't solve the issue of overnight. I woke up often and drank a lot of water through the night but it didn't help. Finally I ran across XyliMelts and they said you can stick them onto your tooth/gumline and they just melt through the night. Sounded a little strange but I read a ton of reviews and they were very positive. The way they work is they are made of Xylitol which helps your mouth create saliva. Every product I tried has Xylitol in it I believe, and that's probably because it works really well to help stimulate saliva production. The first night I tried them (my main issue is overnight but these can also be used during the day) it took me a few tries to get them stuck on comfortably but it wasn't terribly difficult. I tried the Strawberry Smoothie flavor first and it was just a light pleasant taste. But the best part was I slept through the night! When I woke up, my mouth was not parched! My lips weren't cracked, there wasn't any pain or discomfort from dry skin causing tiny breaks and tears. I was so amazed! I slept about 6 hours that night and they lasted, in the morning I spit out 2 small pieces. I use 2 when I sleep. A huge relief is these are sugar free and ZERO calories 🫶 Everything has calories it seems lol. They also come in a bunch of different flavors. I have found my favorite flavor is Slightly Sweet and it's just as it sounds, a faint sweet taste. So far all the different flavors are very mild, light tastes. Almost barely there but also pleasant. Finding this affordable product has likely saved my dental health. I was beginning to suffer pain from dry mouth. Once the dentist fixed the decay being caused from dry mouth, and I started using this product, I haven't experienced any pain. The best news is the dentist says there are no new issues. I have been using the product for about 5 months now. I use 2 each night unless I happen to fall asleep before I put them in place. I always wake up if I forgot them lol. It's been a huge blessing to get such better rest since I'm not waking up a million times to drink water that never could truly quench the dryness. Cause water doesn't stimulate saliva production but XyliMelts do! They work, they last throughout the night, they haven't caused any side effects or upset my stomach. I couldn't be happier to have found something that will help my teeth stay healthier. I wish I knew the seriousness of dry mouth caused by certain medications sooner, before it caused damage to my teeth. But now it won't happen again and I'm sleeping well because my mouth is moisturized. No more dry as a desert mouth 😶😂 Seriously, this is a fantastic product.

My number one choice for dry mouth. Really works and worth it.
Flavor Name: Slightly Sweet, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These do work for very dry mouth. My dentist recommended these because l am on a medication that causes dry mouth. I had no idea it could be this uncomfortable ! It gets to the point I cannot spit after brushing my teeth, can’t make the kiss sound to call my dog, even my voice has been affected. It’s the worst. Sometimes though one tab isn’t enough. I use 3 at once at night. One on each side of mouth between my teeth and cheek, sticking them to my cheek and one on the roof of my mouth. If you have trouble with them sticking to your cheek, definitely try the roof of your mouth. The taste is extremely mild. It’s hard to describe but the flavor but it’s not unpleasant in any way. I rather like it. You get more of a very slight gel consistency when they melt which is what you want. They last in my mouth for hours. I haven’t timed it but it’s half a night’s sleep some nights if I’m asleep. During the day they don’t last as long but still a long time. I’ve been trying different products for dry mouth and I do like to mix it up but this is my go to for serious dry symptoms and nighttime. I really like the sticking feature they have. Will continue to buy.
