How to Care for the Plant

Water
In terms of watering, the dwarf burning bush is a fairly complicated plant to take care of. this is mostly because it has a not so straightforward watering schedule and somewhat regular watering needs.
Pruning
It is important to never remove more than a third of the foliage in any one year and to cut just above a node on the stem.
Fertilizer
Simply apply the fertilizer around the base of the plant, extending to the drip line. For vegetables, place the fertilizer in a strip parallel to the planting row. Water-soluble fertilizers are faster acting but must be applied more frequently. This method gives plants food while you water.
