watering
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Pewter Veil') need regular watering, but should not become soggy. During the growing season, water every 2 to 3 days to keep the soil around the plant moist; during the winter months, water once a week. Check the soil prior to watering. If the soil is still moist, skip a watering session. If the plant is placed in a pot, check the pot for moisture, and if needed, water until the excess begins to drain from the bottom of the pot.
sunlight
Coral bells, also known as Heuchera 'Pewter Veil', should be provided with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight throughout the day. Ideally, the plant should receive about 6 to 8 hours of bright light a day, with partial shade in the afternoon to avoid scorching the leaves. When direct sunlight is intense (like during the summer months), it is best to place the plant in an area that receives dappled shade throughout the day. Be aware, though, that too much shade can cause the foliage to become less vibrant in color.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Pewter Veil') should be pruned in the spring, in early April. This particular plant should receive minimal pruning, which typically only involves removing dead leaves and stems. If a more drastic pruning is desired, make sure to only trim off no more than 1 third of the foliage. Be sure to use clean, sharp pruning shears in order to prevent any disease or infection from occurring.
