Native to the rainforests of South America, philodendron spp. Shangri La is an eye-catching houseplant that offers a tropical atmosphere to any home. It has big, deeply divided lacy leaves, which grow on tall, sturdy stems developing dense, bushy, compact forms. The foliage features rough edges and lime-green rib-veins that add different foliage textures to the plant. Despite its non-native looks and tropical origin, the Shangri la is very easy to grow and it is recommended to feed them at least once a month in the growing season. Consider Shangri La for your office too, with studies showing that plants in the workplace can help reduce stress and improve job satisfaction!
