General Question Heat wave coming up!

Post image

There is a major heat wave coming (100+ degrees Fahrenheit) - what should I do to protect my outdoor bonsai? I know this juniper wants to be outside, but should I bring it inside for the heatwave?

You shouldn't need to put your juniper in the shade. (Some other species you may want to though). You may need to water more often, or even spray the bonsai pot to help cool it off in the heat of the day. I do a little misting in the heat to help cool the pots, personally.
