planting acorns
Step 1
Fill the flower pot with soil mix and bury an acorn just beneath the surface. Put it in a warm place and keep the soil moist. Plant several acorns, since one may not germinate.

Step 2
When a tiny tree starts to grow by itself, it is called a seedling. It needs light and and regular watering to grow well. Do not soak the soil with water, or the roots will rot and die.

Step 3
Your seedling should grow rapidly for a few weeks and then stop. During the winter, it will need little water. In the spring, you can take the seedling out of its pot and plant it outside.
