watering
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Mahogany') need moderate amounts of water, about 1-2 inches per week. Water your coral bells when the top few inches of soil feel dry to the touch. If your plant is receiving too little or too much water, the leaf edges will start to turn brown and curl inwards. To provide your plant with the best possible care, water your coral bells in the morning so the leaves have enough time to dry out before the evening.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Mahogany') prefer a lot of indirect sunlight or partial shade. They should be placed in an area that receives 4–6 hours of bright, indirect light each day. Morning light is preferred, as this promotes strong flowering and better leaf color. Too much direct light can cause the leaves to scorch or fade, so it is important to give coral bells some shade during the hottest part of the day.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Mahogany') should be pruned back hard in late autumn or early spring. Prune the stems back to the base, and cut any overgrown leaves to an inch above the serving. Pruning will help encourage the formation of new leaves and vigorous growth. It is also recommended to remove any dead leaves, flowers, and seed heads throughout the growing season. Be sure to not prune too much at once, though, as it can weaken the plant.
