# I decided to try the coiling technique when I re-potted my snow queen…

I decided to try the coiling technique when I re-potted my snow queen just over two weeks ago. I wish I had a before photo because she was leggy and had maybe 20 burnt/brown leaves, but look at her now! So full and putting out many new leaves!

What is that and how do you do it?

#### ArchNouveau replied on 2026-08-26

If you have a leggy pothos, you take the straggly vines and coil them around the pot, making sure any aerial roots make contact with the soil. I pinned mine down with some paper clips so they’d stay in place. The vines should take root and give you a bushier plant.

Looks great! I did this with my neon queen and now it is so bushy and lush!

Good to know! It really looks gorgeous. 😍

What is the coiling technique?

#### AmyTheGreat replied on 2026-08-28

It's where you take all the hanging vines and wrap them around in the pot itself so they all touch the dirt. I used some small U pins to hold them in place so any nodes and aerial roots can take hold and make a stronger, fuller looking plant.

Ah! Thank you very much!!!

Oh my gosh, I have heard ppl talk about doing this but have never seen anyone that actually did it! I hope you post the results a few weeks out :)
