watering
Coral bells require regular watering, about once every 4-7 days. Water the plant deeply, making sure the soil gets thoroughly moist each time. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. During the hottest summer months, it may be necessary to water every other day to keep the plant healthy and vibrant. In addition, it is important to provide a good amount of humidity for coral bells by misting the foliage periodically, especially if grown indoors.
sunlight
Coral bells need direct sunlight during the morning hours or during the early evening. For the best results, they should be placed in a spot where they will receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Avoid placing them in direct, hot sunlight as that will sunburn the leaves. During periods of excessive heat, it is best for coral bells to be placed in a spot that receives partial shade.
pruning
Coral bells should be pruned in early to mid-spring every 2 to 3 years. Pruning helps to promote strong, healthy growth and enhance the overall plant shape. Start by removing any dead or damaged stems and leaves. Cut back the existing stems to the plant's desired height and shape. If needed, continue to prune as growth appears in the spring to maintain the desired look. Avoid pruning too heavily as this can reduce flowering.
