Pruning pothos 'shangri la' — FAQ
When should I prune pothos 'shangri la'?

How often does pothos 'shangri la' need pruning?
Occasionally, as needed — once or twice a year for most growers. Pothos 'Shangri La' has a naturally compact, curled-leaf habit and grows more slowly than standard golden pothos, so it rarely needs aggressive pruning. Trim any stems that get leggy or out of shape, and remove dead or yellowed leaves. Light pruning helps maintain its tidy, mounding form.
