I have a few questions about my recently acquired trees. For context i live in Nashville Tennessee Zone 7b current soil temps are around 46F

i acquired a juniper procumbens nana from bonsai boy in NY. I have tested the soil and recieved a ph of 5 is this low for this species? if it is should I repot after the stress of a climate change from NY to TN?

i acquired a Kingsville boxwood from Brussels in Mississippi the ph when tested was around 7.5-8.5 i believe this ph is high for the tree is that correct? If so is the solution repotting after the stress of relocation or something else?

Both trees arrived with soil temps within 5 degrees of my local soil temps so i placed the trees outside right away is this any sort of problem for an acclimation period?

as far as watering goes i plan on watering when the soil show signs of dryness is this wrong? should i water once a day no matter what? as far as the water temp goes during watering should it match soil temp, room temp, outside air temp?

i feel overwhelmed and i wanna get this right im so excited for the trees. Please feel free to reach out with any and all advice for me. i plan to post videos for help on the tree in the future as well.

my next problem arises next week as local temperatures reach the low teens. i have ordered a cold box will this be my best solution for the low temps? thank you all so much ill keep you updated!
