Coral bells are very versatile; plant a bit of coral bells around any flower and it will immediately look better! Today Huahua will take everyone to enjoy a wave of beautiful pictures of coral bells!
Coral bells (Heuchera) - the palette knocked over by God
Coral bells (Heuchera) have strong vitality and mostly grow in low clumps, with red, green, yellow and purple, bright and eye-catching, like a palette accidentally knocked over by God and spilled into the human world.
Along the paths of gardens and forest areas, coral bells (Heuchera) of various colors are often paired, giving a rather fairy-tale atmosphere~
Mixed coral bells (Heuchera) are certainly beautiful, but single-color coral bells are no less impressive; plant a large patch, let them bloom to the fullest, and they will still be dazzling!
Coral bells (Heuchera) are not only bright; light blue-green, lotus-pink and deep purple coral bells can also become very serene~

After seeing such beautiful coral bells (Heuchera), flower lovers must also really want to grow a pot, so Huahua will now teach everyone how to grow coral bells!
How to care for coral bells (Heuchera) in summer?
1. Provide appropriate shade
Although coral bells (Heuchera) like sunlight, they are also fairly shade-tolerant and are suitable for growing at the base of a wall, on an east- or west-facing balcony, or under a large tree outdoors; avoid direct strong light.
2. Do not water too frequently
Coral bells (Heuchera) have relatively shallow roots and are most afraid of waterlogging and root rot, so in summer watering twice a week is enough; when watering, do not pour water into the leaf center, otherwise when the sun shines on the water droplets, the leaves can easily rot.
3. Ventilation is very important
For foliage plants, ventilation in summer is very important; be sure to open windows more and move them outdoors to grow as much as possible!

2. Select leaves:
From the coral bells (Heuchera) plant, pick healthy, intact leaves that have a base.
3. Insert the cuttings:

medium; after filling, water thoroughly once, then move to a semi-shaded place and care for it with ventilation; during this period be sure to water more and keep the substrate moist.
