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.

Love this protection plan
Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss

Don't waste your money - these people will not help you
On March 9th 2024, I purchased a MCombo Lift Chair costing $785. On the same day, through the same Amazon account (my PERSONAL account since I also have a business account), I purchased an Asurion Complete Protect policy at the cost of $16.99 per month plus taxes. About one month ago, a problem arose with the chair that required me to make a claim using the "Complete Protect" policy that I had purchased for that very item. The claim was initiated on January 1st, 2025 - On January 3rd, I received an email asking me for photographs showing the damage for which I was making a claim. I sent those photographs via email to the address provided on January 6th. On January 27th, having not received ANY response from Asurion, I contacted them via phone and was told that my purchase had been made with a business account, that it was being used for business purposes, and was therefore not covered. I assured the Asurion Representative that it was most certainly not a business use, and that the chair that I was claiming for had been purchased because I had extensive shoulder surgery done that made it impossible to get in and out of bed. After speaking (unsuccessfully) with the Asurion Rep, I then contacted Amazon Customer Service. I spoke with an Amazon Customer Service Representative on the phone who confirmed that I had in fact used my personal account to purchase the chair and the Asurion Complete Protect policy. That representative went on to send a message to Asurion on my behalf confirming that the purchase was for personal use and not business use. Asurion responded, asking me to call them with the order number for the Asurion purchase. The number I gave was the exact same order number on my order history, however, the Asurion Rep could not find it. I was finally able to discover that the order number in Asurion's system was entirely different and isn't even in the same format as an Amazon order number. Upon the Asurion representative finding my plan, she informed me that the chair was listed as being purchased for business use (despite Amazon confirming that it was NOT) but that I should give them "a couple of business days" to resolve the issue. Five business days later, still no response and so I called them again (Yesterday - February 1st 2025)... Lo and behold, I got the same crap yet again... the purchase was listed as business use and was therefore being denied, but she promised to remove the business use commentary and put the claim through again. Today, February 2nd, I called Amazon yet again to escalate and had to call THREE times because the first two calls resulted in me finally being connected to an Asurion representative (two different reps) and each time, the Asurion representative hung up the phone as soon as my name was mentioned. It has become clear to me that the Asurion "Complete Protect" policy is a SCAM - they will NOT take care of your issue, regardless of how long you've been paying. I have been paying every month since March 9th last year - so they've received over $170 from me thus far, with zero other claims, and if I am able to cancel right now, I will only receive $16.99 back. All I want, is the chair that I purchased the policy for coverage of, to be repaired or replaced. Asurion are NOT helping, and are actively avoiding contact. At this point, I am considering legal action against Asurion for fraud - perhaps even a Class Action. I'll wait and see if my issue gets resolved within the next 10 days or so.

Asurion is AWESOME!
Ok, so let me start with the fact that you should NOT waste your time calling Amazon's customer service if you think you have a claim under Asurion's monthly protection plan. CALL ASURION! I wasted almost an hour with Amazon representatives that have absolutely no training in how the Asurion plan works, or even any idea if my item was covered. In fact, they told me the mechanized chair I purchased under the plan wasn't covered! Finally, my call got escalated to a manager who was just as clueless about my coverage, but had the best idea ever... call Asurion! The smartest thing I did that morning was hang up with Amazon, and reach out to Asurion as I should have done in the first place. Dealing with Asurion's customer service, after my Amazon call, was like being elevated to VIP status! 😄 Asurion's rep nicely took all my info, including the chair's purchase date and order number. Then they asked that I upload a couple of pictures of the product, along with a written description of the malfunction I had mentioned over the phone. This is where it gets really good. They told me they'd review the claim to determine if they'd send a repair specialist or reimburse me the cost of the item. In less than 48 hours, they determined that a payout was in order, and sent me an email that included an Amazon gift card for the total cost of the item minus the taxes I had paid, which I loaded directly into my Amazon wallet. Apparently, Asurion does not include the purchase taxes in their coverage. But, I can live with that. All in all, Asurion's claims division get a double thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽, and the company gets big ups from me for not only standing behind their protection plan, but doing so expeditiously! Special note: If you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and have Asurion's monthly protection plan, scroll the item listing before pulling the trigger on your purchase... you need to see the green streamer that indicates your product is protected by the plan. If you don't see that, check to see if there are alternative products that might be covered. There are very few electronic or high ticket items that aren't covered, but looking for that green banner in the item description that says it's covered is key to foregoing any future headaches.

If they can't fix it they will replace it.
This protection plan that i pay monthly for paid for itself ten fold. My 3D printer just quit working and after the manufacturer warrenty had ran out at that. I submitted my claim they emailed me a shipping label in which I shipped out my printer that same day. Two days later they received my printer determined it couldc not be fixed and sent me a Amazon gift card for the full price of my printer. Today I will be receiving my new 3d printer thanks to Complete Protect. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to purchase this policy. This warrenty is like having a home warrenty like Homeshield but for your electronics and probably other stuff that i just have not read to see what else. This insurance will save me so much money over the corse of this year and every year after that. Thank you Complete Protect.

"Outstanding support and a seamless process!"
Great experience with Asurion insurance through Amazon. I wasn't sure how to register my items for the monthly plan, but the customer support team in the chat was incredibly efficient and guided me through the entire paperwork process smoothly. Furthermore, the service I received at the repair shop (Break Fix) was excellent. The whole process was seamless, and I received my digital gift card without any issues, which I’ve already applied to my Amazon account. I am very grateful for their professionalism and how easy they made everything. Highly recommended!"
