Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La'
Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La' , also known as Pothos 'Shangri La', is a fascinating variation of Epipremnum aureum, famous for its unique foliage and ease of cultivation. This popular houseplant is distinguished by its dark green, deeply lobed, almost ragged leaves, which give it a lush, bushy appearance.
Origin: Epipremnum aureum is native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. 'Shangri La' is a cultivated selection that was developed for its unique aesthetic characteristics.
Growth: This plant has a compact, bushy growth habit, with stems that spread and drape elegantly. Its distinctive leaves create a dense visual effect, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and volume to any interior space.
Flowers: As with most Epipremnum varieties, indoor flowering is rare and will only flower in mature form. 'Shangri La' is grown primarily for its decorative foliage rather than its flowers.
Light: Prefers medium indirect light but can adapt to low light conditions, making it ideal for dimly lit interiors. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight which can burn the leaves.
Watering: Watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. 'Shangri La' is drought tolerant, but regular hydration promotes healthy growth.
Substrate: A well-draining potting mix is recommended. A standard indoor plant substrate, enriched with perlite, provides good drainage and supports plant growth.
Toxicity: Like other members of the Araceae family, Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La' contains calcium oxalate crystals which may be irritating if ingested. It is therefore advisable to keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Order Preparation:
A confirmation receipt will be sent to you once your purchase is confirmed. We only ship across Canada from Monday to Wednesday to prevent packages from sitting in postal offices over the weekend.

This tracking number allows you to check your order status in real-time until its final destination. Please check your spam folder if you do not receive a confirmation email. We do not provide delivery time estimates due to the high volume of orders we prepare.
