My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Overwintering juniper bonsai

12 years ago

Hi Guys!
Just joined you.
Received a juniper bonsai for Valentines day. First bonsai ever.
I've been reading that junipers should be allowed to go dormant during the winter months. This one came from a heated Garden center, so it obviously hasn't.
What should I do now?
I live in Southern Ontario. Tonite the temp will be 7 degrees F.
