coral bells

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Encore') should be watered once a week, providing an inch of water each time. When watering, make sure that the soil is thoroughly saturated. Coral bells should be watered deeply, so that the water is able to penetrate the entire root system. During the summer, the plant may need to be watered twice a week, and during dry spells, extra water may be needed for this species to remain healthy. Always water in the morning to give the water enough time to soak into the soil and avoid water loss due to temperatures rising throughout the day. Additionally, when the soil is dry to the point of wilting, water every other day until the soil is saturated.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Encore') need 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. The plant does best in part shade, meaning it should get indirect sunlight for 2-4 hours during the day, and preferably in the morning before noon. Direct sunlight in the afternoon should be avoided, as this may cause the leaves to burn. If the plant is exposed to too much intense sunlight, its foliage will turn pale yellow or brown. When planting coral bells, make sure the spot chosen receives the right amount of direct sunlight throughout the day for best results.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Encore') should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before the new growth appears. You can prune your coral bells plants to remove old, damaged, or crowded foliage. Remove old or damaged leaves by cutting them off at the base with sharp, clean pruners. You can also trim individual stems back to 6-8 inches and lightly shape the entire plant by hand. This will encourage healthy new growth and keep the plant looking neat and tidy. To get the best bloom and reduce potential diseases it is important to remove spent flower stalks. Always prune with clean and sharp pruners to prevent any potential diseases.
