watering

Coral bells need to be watered about once a week, but the exact amount of water they need depends on the soil and light conditions. In general, providing about 1 inch of water will be enough. Be sure to check the soil each week before watering. When the soil is dry up to 1 inch below the surface, it is time to water. It is best to water in the morning, so that the foliage is less likely to stay wet overnight and get damaged by fungal or bacterial diseases.

sunlight

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Coco' LITTLE CUTIE COCO) thrive best in full sun or partial shade. They require a minimum of 4 to 6 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight every day in order to reach their fullest potential. If planted in full sun, this plant should receive plenty of sun from around 8am to 12pm or 1pm. In areas where temperatures may be too hot for a full day of direct sun, a shade cloth may be used to provide filtered light to coral bells.

pruning

Pruning Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Coco' LITTLE CUTIE COCO) should occur in late autumn, usually late November or early December. Begin by removing brown, damaged and dead foliage, as well as any foliage with signs of disease. In addition, thin stems that appear congested by cutting them off at the base. Pruning helps to promote new growth and a healthy, vibrant-looking plant. Remove no more than 1-third of the plant in any given pruning session.
