Just got a juniper and it was kept indoors.. put it in winter or no?

Hi so I just got a small juniper bonsai from Home Depot. I live in the Missouri and so it’s literally 6 degrees F. It was kept inside for who knows how long do I just place it outside or keep it inside until it warms up a bit. I really like this bonsai and would like to keep it for a long time.

If you don't get it outside in the sunlight it will die inside... If you have a south-facing space that would be best. Many others will see your post and respond as well. All my junipers are outside in SE Michigan and they are fine.

Might help as well...

Thank you very much. I just didn’t know if going from room temp to in the single or double low digits would shock it but I will follow your advice

If the tree isn't dormant, putting it outside now might kill it. I'd put it in a coolish but sunny south facing window until spring weather arrives which isn't too far away.

Watch out for heating ducts, window is good, but don't let that warm air dry it out.
Good luck!
