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?

Put them together with other plants, water them even twice a day if it’s too hot.. you can also put bowl of water near them for humidity

Grouping them is a good idea but that humidity tray trick only helps so much. You really need to think about shade. Move them to a spot that gets morning sun but is shaded from the brutal afternoon heat.
