Had to keep her inside today. Too windy and cold so I set her up next to me for work. With indirect sunlight how long should I keep her in the windows?

    It depends. Is it a juniper?

      Yes she is. Got her about a week ago. I was told she is 2 years old and this is my first plant so I'm trying to be really good to her.

    What temp do you mean by too cold? Junipers are extremely cold hardy. I have 7 large specimen trees/shrubs and 1 bonsai. All live outdoors year round in my zone 7b.. though they are hardy to zone 3, so very cold.

      It is in the 50s here today and really windy 20-40mph gusts so I didn't want her to get damaged or anything. I'm learning more about her daily so if she could still be outside then I'll definitely move her, just want to make sure I'm taking care of her properly.

      :) I understand. I believe you would be fine keeping it outdoors. Junipers need that cold period and lots of sun. We had a few days here and there that dropped below freezing and everyone is doing well. Imo, you run the risk of it getting sick on you by keeping it inside. We’re in the latter part of winter so probably best to let it adjust to the weather accordingly.

      Thank you for the tips. I'll find her a good spot on the patio so she can stay outdoors and in view.

    Some may experience bronzing but that this is a natural occurrence.
