About soil condition, the best type of soil for a burning bush is well-drained soil that is moist but not soggy. The bush does not tolerate long periods of drought well, so make sure to water it regularly during dry spells. The bush is also tolerant of most soil types, including clay and sand.
So, like the other plants, a winged burning bush needs sunlight to grow. However, this plant is unique in that it can tolerate more sun than most other plants. In fact, it needs at least six hours of sunlight each day to thrive. If it doesn't get enough sun, its leaves will start to turn yellow and it will eventually die.
The temperature condition of the winged burning bush is extremely hot. The bush is engulfed in flames, and the heat is so intense that it is almost impossible to approach the bush without being burned. The temperature condition of the bush is so hot that it is almost impossible to extinguish the fire.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is between 40-50%. If the humidity is too low, the leaves will start to turn brown and drop off. If the humidity is too high, the leaves will start to turn yellow and drop off.
The fertilizer, this kind of plant need, is rich in phosphorus and potassium, with a 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio. too much nitrogen in the fertilizer will produce lots of leaves at the expense of flowers. the best time to fertilize is in early spring, before the plant starts to produce new leaves and flowers.
Pruning your winged burning bush is important to keeping it looking its best. You should prune in early spring, before new growth begins. Cut back any dead or diseased branches, and then shape the bush as you desire. Be sure to not over prune, as this can damage the plant.
Propagation is typically done through cuttings taken from the tips of new growth. Cuttings should be 4-6 inches long and taken from healthy, non-flowering stems. The cuttings should be placed in a well-drained potting mix and kept moist until roots have developed. Once roots have developed, the plants can be transplanted into larger pots or into the garden.
Usually, the plant growth rate is in the spring and fall. The plant can grow 3-5 feet in a single season. It is a fast-growing, deciduous shrub that typically matures to 6-10 tall with a slightly larger spread. It is noted for its rapid growth rate, pyramidal form, and winged stems.Winged burning bush is a deciduous shrub with a rapid growth rate.

Common problems for this kind of plant are powdery mildew and leaf spot. These can be controlled with fungicides. The bush can also be susceptible to borers, so it is important to check for these pests regularly.
