coral bells

Coral bells should be watered every other day or when the top 1.5 inches of soil is dry. Water the soil deeply and evenly and be sure not to overwater as this can cause root rot. Water early in the day to reduce the chance of diseases caused by too much moisture on the leaves. It's best to water in the morning after the sun has had time to warm up the soil. Avoid getting the leaves wet when watering, as this can lead to the growth of fungus.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Crimson Curls') are full sun tolerant plants, meaning that more than 6 hours of direct sunlight is required to achieve optimal growth. If planted in areas that do not get at least 6 hours of direct sun, the foliage is likely to suffer. The plant should be positioned where it will get morning sun and then shade in the afternoon to prevent the leaves from burning. This will also depend on the climate; in areas with very hot summers, some afternoon shade is recommended. In areas with cooler climates, the plant can handle more direct sunlight. For best results, coral bells should be exposed to at least 6 hours of direct sun each day.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Crimson Curls') should be pruned annually for optimal health and performance. Pruning should be done in early spring, just as new growth begins to appear. Start by removing any dead or damaged stalks or leaves, as well as any stalks that have grown too long. If your coral bells have become overgrown, you may want to do more extensive pruning such as thinning and cutting back. Thin out overcrowded stems by cutting back the tallest ones to a height of about 6-8 inches to promote bushiness. Trim away any shoots that have grown outside the desired shape of the bush. Finally, pinch back new growth for an even bushier, more compact form.
