Step 4Creating a future forest.
Apparently its best not to use garden soil since it may carry diseases.
Use a good quality potting soil mixed with some sand and grit mixed in.
Place the acorn horizontally, barely under the surface. Water until it comes out the bottom and place cups on a southern windowsill.
Check moisture often and don't let the soil get completely dry.
In about three weeks the stalk will be five to six inches and the first set of leaves will have spread. About mid-May it is time to harden the plants off. Gradually increase exposure time to outside sun and air. Set the trees outside during the day and return them to house or garage at night.
