watering
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Velvet Night') are typically low-maintenance plants, and should be watered every 1-2 weeks. The ideal amount of water for this species is about 1-1.5 inches based on the plant's soil type, light availability, and temperature. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot and other issues. For best results, it's important to check the soil moisture regularly and water as needed. In periods of extreme heat or drought, the plants may need to be watered more often in order to prevent wilting.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Velvet Night') can be grown in part shade to full shade. They prefer bright, indirect sunlight that is not too intense for several hours of the day, preferably in the late morning or early afternoon. For maximum flowering potential, filtered sunlight or bright light conditions are best. Direct sunlight may cause the leaves to scorch, so through the day the shade should be adjusted to reduce the amount of sun. A few hours of direct sunlight should be enough for coral bells to thrive.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Velvet Night') should be pruned in early spring, before the new growth appears. Pruning should be done by removing dead or faded foliage and removing any stems that cross over each other, as this can cause poor air circulation. Trim any stems that have grown past the desired size, being careful to leave at least 3 buds per stem. Pruning should only be done lightly as coral bells benefit from having old foliage around in order to produce more flowers and foliage.
