watering
Coral bells should be watered regularly once every week or so when the top 1-2 inches of soil has dried out. It is important not to overwater, as the soil should never be soggy or overly wet—too much water can cause the plant to experience root rot. Watering should be done in the early morning, ensuring the leaves dry off by evening. During hot weather, coral bells may need extra watering to keep the foliage looking lush.
sunlight
Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Pwheu0102' DOLCE MOCHA MINT) require full to partial sun and flourish best with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day, ideally in the morning or early afternoon. When grown in full sun, they will benefit from protection from the afternoon's hot rays (midday-afternoon) and should be noted that the amount of sunlight can vary with seasonal and regional differences. While best blooming in the sun, Coral Bells can tolerate a few hours of shade each day and still produce beautiful foliage.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Pwheu0102' DOLCE MOCHA MINT) should be pruned once a year in late spring or early summer after the plant has finished blooming. To prune, use pruners or shears to cut back the long stems that have died back, removing any dead, damaged, or sparse foliage. This will help the plant to look neat and tidy, and to promote new growth. Pruning also helps to keep the plant healthy and attractive. Additionally, it is important to deadhead the flowers to encourage continued blooming.
