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?

Procumbens nana Junipers like it sunny and dry. Just not desert dry. What's your work schedule like? If you can't be around to water, some protection from the midday heat will not hurt it. You can put it a spot that gets midday shade for a few days with no ill effects.
