Pretty much watering and waiting.
Fertilizing when older.

Thanks for responding. I realise that they will take years to grow but do I leave them in these pots or pot them into bigger pots or plant them in garden to grow

I grow a few oak seadlings in a 15 liter pot. There are seadlings self sown in my garden that are the same age (2018) ant they are twice the size.
