I bought a juniper plant that seems to be doing okay outside. The guide I was directed to for its care recommends making a “shelter” of sorts for when it gets below -10° C. Has anyone made a shelter for their juniper before? What did you do? I’m confused hahaha

Is your juniper planted the ground or in a pot?
