With the snow falling I go to the yard and take some pics of my trees covered with snow.

I go back out to look around and my cascading juniper has fallen of the bench and broke the pot.

I quickly place it in an oval mica pot and fill with soil. Question...should I water it in and keep in the garage? Looking for advise.

Was the soil frozen? If it was, and there wasn't a lot of soil disturbance, I'd just put it back out on the bench,,, and I'd tie it down this time:D

No it was not frozen, boon mix, lost most of the soil.

Junipers are very cold hardy, and you could probably put it back on the bench tomorrow and it would be fine. Still, if you want to be cautious, keeping the root ball from freezing again would be fine. So, put it outside and leave it there as long as it's above freezing, and inside when it's not.
