Coral bells prefer well-draining, humus rich soil, so ensure that there is plenty of organic matter in the soil. Do not let the pot to sit in standing water, as this will cause root rot.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Veil of Passion') requires bright, indirect sunlight throughout the day for optimal growth and bloom production. Generally speaking, 6-8 hours of sunlight per day is ideal for this species, with most of the light exposure occurring in the morning and early afternoon. It is important to avoid direct sunlight, as this can cause scorching and leaf burn on the foliage. During the hottest months, Coral bells plants may need to be moved to a more shaded area to prevent damage.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Veil of Passion') should be pruned annually in the spring, after the last frost. Start by removing all dead and large damaged leaves and then prune back the remaining foliage by up to 1-third of its original size - this will help to encourage new, healthy growth and blooms.

Finally, make sure to sterilize your pruning shears with alcohol or a 10% bleach solution to prevent the spread of diseases.
