I only planted acorns that had germinated while in my fridge. The ones that haven't are still in there until I can work them into the rootmakers if some don't come up or die off. I'm just concerned about them getting dry but I don't want to over water them.

What do you guys do as far as watering after you get them planted in the rootmakers? Do you water before they even come up or do you wait? Approx how much water? 108 acorns went into rootmakers this weekend at my place. 90 DCO and 18 sawtooth oak *I should have ordered more rootmakers!!!
