Pothos 'Shangri La'

Pothos ‘Shangri La’ 🌿 has thick, twisted, curly leaves that give it a fun, crinkled look unlike a standard pothos, so it stands out right away even in a small pot. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the growth stays fuller and the foliage keeps its best shape on shelves, desks, or hanging planters. This is an easygoing plant overall and works well for beginners, though it grows a bit differently and usually more slowly than a typical trailing pothos. Pro tip: if the plant starts looking stretched or sparse, move it closer to brighter light and let the soil dry slightly between waterings ✂️.
