watering
Water your Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Lime Rickey') deeply and regularly, about once every week or so. Ensure that the soil is evenly moist but not soggy or sodden. In summer or in hot climates, you might have to water your plants more often. Always water them in the morning as it gives them a whole day to work on absorbing what they need. Also, avoid wetting the leaves and flowers when you water your Coral Bells to prevent any fungal or bacterial diseases.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Lime Rickey') thrive best in a location that gets partial to full sun, 5-6 hours per day. The brightest light should be provided in the early morning, and the amount of direct sun should be decreased in the afternoon as it may cause bleaching or sunburn. Light levels can also be decreased during periods of extreme heat. For the best quality of foliage, it is best to keep Coral bells in bright, indirect light during the hottest part of the day.
pruning
Coral bells should be pruned in late winter or early spring before any new growth appears. To keep the plant looking its best, prune off any dead, damaged, or diseased foliage and any runners from the previous season. Prune the remaining foliage back lightly, removing approximately 1-third of the growth to emphasize flowers and promote a fuller growth. You can also prune the foliage to maintain its desired shape and size.
