I went to the nursery looking for houseplants and came back with a tag along bonsai. I looked up how to care for it and learned they need to be outside and should have morning and evening sun. They should have a sandy type soil for drainage and be watered when the soil is dry.

A few questions. What temperature is too low and what is too hot? I live in Texas. Winter is typically 30s or 20s at night and teens at the coldest. Summer can get into the triple digits. Do I need to bring it inside at certain temps? And also, what type of soil mixture would you recommend? Right now the plant seems to be in the same stuff you'd buy for your flower bed. Any other tips or tricks?

Typically, now would follow an answer telling you that 10 degrees is above freezing point so no issue, and temperatures into the triple digits would be above water boiling temperature, but I don't feel like it today.

If you mean inside your heated home: nope, never.

Please check the care guidelines, top of the page under tree species. Information about soil mixtures can be found on this site as well.

Welcome.
I live in tropical Brazil and when temperatures go higher than 42 degrees we are all on the beach or up in the mountains.
Junipers should be outdoors all the time.
Soil should be something like Boon's Mix (look it up on Amazon).
Good luck.

The Juniper you bought should be fine outside yearround. When it gets really hot and dry, be very carefull to keep the roots moist. They dry out very fast!

Guess I should've specified but I'm talking in terms of Fahrenheit, not Celsius.... Triple digits Fahrenheit is not uncommon for the most southern states of the US. For example, one of our highest temps last year was 44 degrees Celsius. And in the teens as far as Fahrenheit, it is certainly below freezing. It would be in the nagatives in Celsius.

Only one developed country still uses Fahrenheit, the rest of the world uses Celsius.
No one will understand what temperature range you're talking about, and, while it's not so hard to convert to something understandable, I don't think people always feel like doing that.

44 C. is pretty hot. You'd have to protect the tree from overheating (in a pot, the soil will get hot and the roots can get damaged), so, I'd keep it in the shade, and, as LB said, make sure it stays moist.
