I have just a couple bonsai and just got this "Nana" juniper to replace one that (sigh) died. Well, I admit I probably killed it. It had been inside and doing fine for over a year, when I was persuaded that it needed to be an outdoor bonsai. Since it was late winter, I put it in the garage for a while to harden it off, then early in the spring, I set it outside on my deck. I kept it watered, but about 6 weeks ago it became obvious that it had croaked. I have just replaced it with a new one and want to make sure this time to treat it correctly. Right now it's on my patio on an open shelf covered on top with a towel to keep off the bright sun. Exposure is southeast. I water it on the days it doesn't rain. What should I do when it gets below freezing? Should it move into the garage for the winter? I'd love to have it inside, but I guess that is death to the plant.
