I keep both trees inside because now in the summer is to hot outside about 30- 35 C (86 - 95 F) and can go up to 40 C (104 F). And in the winter can go below - 25 C (-13F)

Look outside, there are trees everywhere. How many trees do you see inside houses?
If you keep those trees inside, then it's a matter of time before they will die. Trees belongs outside, not inside.
How did you get the idea that the trees will thrive better inside than outside?

Put them outside George. Junipers really need to be outdoors all year round. If you want to keep trees indoors, you could do with tropicals, serissas or p.ex Chinese elm to bring them into a cool & bright place inside before the winter kicks in.

Thank you for your answers. I will put them outside. It will be better in an area without all day sun. Or in an area where is all day sun. They were outside in full sun and started to turn brown. Died a little

I would put them in a place where they get sun in the morning or evening.

Because this time of the year the average temperature is around 35 C. I should wet them daily? Or once a few days?

That depends on wich soil you used.
You water the trees when the soil is slighty dry, but not completly dry. We can't tell you how often. You need to check the soil everyday to find out how quick the soil become slightly dry.

You might to be able to be creative about where you put them outdoors to control how much sun they get. I have a large ficus that casts a big shadow, and put some more delicate trees under the shadow. I have a neighbor with tall trees whose shadow falls on the edge of the porch where the trees sit, and put those who don't want sun all day there, and so forth.
