coral bells

When watering Coral Bells, it’s important to avoid over or underwatering. The best approach is to keep the soil of the plant moist but not soggy. It’s ideal to water the Coral Bells once a week, ensuring that the top 1-2 inches of soil is evenly moist, and allowing the soil to dry out a bit between waterings. During particularly hot or dry periods, an extra drink may be necessary. Avoid wetting the leaves of the Coral Bells when watering and ensure that the pot has good drainage.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Black Forest Cake') grows best when it receives bright, indirect sunlight throughout the day. A minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight is recommended for optimal growth. However, too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn and curl, so partial shade may be preferred. Ideally, Coral bells should be located in an area that receives morning sun and afternoon shade for optimal growth. If planted in a container, Coral bells can be placed on a balcony or patio that receives ample sun during the day.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Black Forest Cake')should be pruned in late winter or early spring, just before new growth appears. Pruning should remove spent flower stalks and any faded foliage that detracts from the overall look. A light trimming of all stems will also help shape the plant and encourage new growth. Try to leave the center of the plant untouched, as new blooms typically come from within. Pruning coral bells too much may reduce flowering, so it is best to take a conservative approach and only remove what is necessary.
