watering
Coral bells (Heuchera cvs.) should be watered 2 to 3 times per week in the spring and summer months when the weather is warm. During the cooler months of fall and winter, they should be watered less frequently, about once every 10-14 days (or when the top inch of soil is dry). When watering, make sure to moisten the soil thoroughly each time. It is important to not over water your coral bells. This could lead to root rot.
sunlight
Coral bells need a minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight every day to thrive. They will tolerate light shade for most of the day, but need some direct sun in the afternoon to maintain their vibrant colors and profuse blooming. You can also position the plant so that it receives morning and evening indirect light that will still allow for happy growth of coral bells.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera cvs.) should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before new growth appears. Pruning back the coral bells should be done by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged foliage. If the plant is overly woody or has become too large, the whole plant can be cut back to 6 inches above the ground. If maintaining health and shape is the goal, it is best to take off no more than 1-third of the plant at 1 time. Pruning can also be done in the summer after the plant flowers. In the fall, the dead flower scapes can be removed as well.
