watering

Coral bells should be watered deeply once per week, allowing the soil to become slightly dry between waterings. When watering, make sure to keep the foliage dry and use tepid water. During hotter months, they may need to be watered more often, depending on soil moisture and temperature. Make sure not to overwater the plant, as this can cause root rot. Additionally, coral bells should be fertilized once a month during the growing season, using a balanced fertilizer appropriate for houseplants.

sunlight

Coral bells (Heuchera sanguinea ‘Snow Storm’) thrive in bright sunlight throughout the year, making them an ideal choice for a garden located in a full sun or partially shaded area. The optimal amount of sunlight for this species should be 6 to 8 hours a day. When planted in an area that receives too much indirect light, this species may become leggy and sparse in foliage. If planted in an area that receives too little light, the leaves may turn pale green and the plant may become stunted in growth.

pruning

For pruning Coral Bells (Heuchera sanguinea 'Snow Storm'), it is recommended to prune back the spent foliage in late winter or early spring. Cut back the stems to 2-4 inches above the soil line. This will encourage new and healthy growth, as well as reduce the spread of disease and pests. Pruning should also be done to shape the plant or to contain its size. Re-prune as needed throughout the growing season.
