How to care for your Heuchera Obsidian

• Light: This plant prefers partial shade to full shade, so make sure to plant it in an area that is protected from the hot afternoon sun.
• Water: It is drought-tolerant but still prefers consistently moist soil. Be sure to water it regularly and avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
• Soil: This plant prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy or poorly draining, consider adding compost or other organic matter to improve its quality.
• Fertiliser: Benefits from occasional fertilisation, particularly during the growing season. A balanced, slow-release fertiliser is best, applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Pruning: This plant is a slow grower and does not require heavy pruning. However, if you notice any yellowing or damaged leaves, feel free to remove them to keep the plant looking its best.
• Winter Care: It is hardy in cold temperatures, but it may benefit from a protective layer of mulch or evergreen boughs during the winter months.
