You could paint your pots white or wrap some sort of white fabric like an old pillowcase around it to keep it cool. I have my 7 gallon fabric pots inside of milk crates and I clip an old pillow case to the milk crate to help shade the pot. I have one those duster things and I poof diatomaceous earth on the soil surface which helps with bugs and also makes the surface of the soil a shade lighter. It also adds plant usable silicone to the soil.
