Winter Bonsai Care - Colorado

I saw a video on where else? YouTube that suggested avoiding placing the pot directly on the ground, as this would allow heat from the day sun to be absorbed from the pot. Suggested placing the pot on a brick instead.

The pot will absorbe more heat from the sunlight it might receive. From the ground is usually negligible. You can't believe everything you see in youtube, I am afraid.

I put my plants huddled together on the concrete floor in my unheated, detached garage. When it gets really cold, like negative temps, I cover them with down sleeping bags.
