The little acorns sprouting a mighty houseplant trend among space-challenged millennials | The Telegraph
'One of the first things I found growing in the balcony were acorns. '
'There were three of them in the window box, and they had all put out a handful of little gently serrated leaves, which took me back to my childhood, oak trees being one of the first I learnt to recognise. '
'I repotted them and enjoyed watching them flourish before, ultimately, realising that they would never be able to fulfil their potential in a space as small and concrete as mine. '
'It is a bold, but ultimately doomed, notion to think that hardwood trees can be grown to any scale on a city balcony. '
'And yet, urban growers are turning to exactly that: acorns, to bring growth and nature into their homes. '
