watering
Coral bells should be watered regularly but sparingly. During the summer months (May-September), water once a week, making sure the soil is moist but not soggy. In the winter months (October-April), water about once every 2 weeks. It is important to make sure the soil does not dry out completely during this time. When watering, avoid getting the leaves wet, as this can cause fungal disease.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Caramel') prefer full sun to part shade, particularly in cooler climates. During the summer months, they can tolerate full sun as long as they receive some shade during the hottest parts of the day. In warmer climates, coral bells should be grown in areas that provide light shade all day. The ideal amount of sunlight for this plant species is 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Caramel') plants should be pruned once each year in early spring. This should be done during its dormant period, once the threat of frost has passed and new growth begins to emerge. Pruning can help to keep coral bells looking its best by removing any weak or damaged stems, opening up air flow and light around the foliage, and controlling its overall size and shape. Pruning should be done gently, as this species does not tolerate heavy pruning well. Cut off any branches that appear weak or damaged, especially right above the leaf axil. When finished, the coral bell's shape should remain symmetrical and balanced.
