coral bells

Coral bells (Heuchera ‘Jade Gloss’) should be watered when the top 1” - 2” of the soil is dry. On average this should be every 5-7 days. Depending on ambient air temperature and humidity levels, this may need to be adjusted. Generally, in cooler temperatures the intervals can be stretched to 8-10 days, and in warmer temperatures it should be more often. When watering, it is best to use a gentle method such as hand watering or a slow, gentle, trickle from a hose nozzle. It is also important to ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Jade Gloss') prefer bright, indirect sunlight to grow best. They will do well in full sun to dappled shade, but the foliage may become scorched if the sun is too strong. For best results, coral bells should receive at least 4 hours of sunlight each day, with the sun hitting the leaves directly for no more than 3 hours at a time. It's best to provide morning and early afternoon sun. During the hottest parts of the day, when the sun is strongest, the plants should be given some relief from the sun's rays.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Jade Gloss') should be pruned once a year in late February or early March. Pruning should include cutting back any dead or diseased growth, as well as any foliage that has become too large or congested. Clipping the foliage back to within 2 inches of the ground is recommended to encourage new, vigorous growth. To keep the plant looking its best, remove any faded or damaged stems and leave healthy, full foliage in place. When pruning, take care to keep the shape of the plant in mind and prune as little as needed.
