I have six Southern Magnolias I am growing from seed. All six have come up and are starting to sprout a third leaf. I used a seed starting potting mix mixed with a little regular potting mix to grow them in. I cold stratified them for 5 months before planting. They seem healthy and happy right now, but as they grow, what do I need to do? Do I need to add anything to the soil? Compost or anything? Right now, I have them in my kitchen getting partial sun and I keep the soil moist. I have a spray bottle and I'll pour a little in each day and then throughout the day I spritz the soil to keep it moist and spritz the leaves slightly. What should I do for them as they grow? I want to plant three in my yard once they are mature enough. The other three I'll raise in larger pots and give away most likely.

Thanks
