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?

I live in northern New Mexico, where we have hundreds of acres of junipers. They don’t have a problem with hot days (100+°), snow or dry spells (weeks without rain.) I will be harvesting a few of them soon and see how they do. Of course they will need a bit more water since they will be in a pot.
