watering
Water coral bells (Heuchera 'Fire Chief') when the top inch of soil in the pot feels dry to the touch. During the summer months, water more frequently, as much as once every 2 days. During cooler months, water when the top inch of soil feels dry, approximately 1-2 times a week. When watering, only water until the soil is moist, not soggy.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Fire Chief') require moderate to full sunlight for optimal growth and survival. In general, 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight is best. During the spring and early summer months when the sun is more intense, the plant needs to be protected from harsh afternoon light, which can lead to scorched leaves. In the cooler months of fall and winter, the plant can handle more sunlight. If placed in too much shade, coral bells may become leggy and will not bloom as well.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Fire Chief') should be pruned in early spring before new growth begins. Pruning should be conservative and light, removing just enough of the outer leaves to maintain the desired shape and size of the plant. Take care not to prune too much, as coral bells bloom on the new growth of the season, and removing too many of the leaves could inhibit blooming.
