watering
Coral bells require moist, well-draining soil. During the spring and summer months, water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry. In mild areas, the soil should be watered deeply every 7-10 days. In warmer regions, the plant may require more frequent watering as temperatures rise. During winter, water the plant every 2-3 weeks or when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Cherry Cola') needs at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to thrive. In general, morning sun is preferred, with the plant receiving light from the east or south. In summer months, some afternoon shade may be beneficial, as intense afternoon sun can burn the foliage. In winter months, more direct sunlight can help strengthen the plant and avoid foliage burn. It's important to pay attention to the amount and type of sunlight the coral bells is receiving, as too much direct sun can affect its growth and health.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Cherry Cola') should be pruned in late winter or early spring each year. Pruning should only involve removing any dead, limp, or damaged leaves, stems, and flower spikes. Thinning out stems by cutting them back to the ground may also be beneficial for creating a fuller, more compact plant. Pruning should be done sparingly, however, as too much pruning can lead to a decrease in flowering.
