watering

Coral bells (Heuchera 'TNHEU044' DOLCE LICORICE) should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Depending on the season, the plant should be watered once or twice a week in the summertime and every 2 to 3 weeks in the wintertime. It is important to keep a consistent watering schedule and not let the soil become overly dry or too saturated with water. When it comes to amounts, water until it runs evenly out of the drainage holes of the pot. Allow the top half inch of the soil surface to dry before you water again.

sunlight

Coral bells (Heuchera 'TNHEU044' DOLCE LICORICE) prefer bright indirect sunlight for most of the day. During the spring and summer, full sun for 4-6 hours daily is generally okay for this plant species. However, during the hot months of summer, it's important to protect coral bells from intense direct sunlight. During fall and winter, they can tolerate part sun or bright indirect light for 4-6 hours a day. For optimal growth, ensure that the coral bells receive at least 4-5 hours of bright light each day.

pruning

Coral bells should be pruned in early spring or early fall, after flowering. Light pruning can be done throughout the summer to maintain the desired shape and size. Prune off any dead foliage. Pinch or trim the foliage in the late summer to encourage new growth. After the first hard frost, prune off the remaining foliage. Cut each stem back to just above the crown of the plant to prevent damage to the perennial.
