Primula auricula
Mine are grown in a mixture of MPC and about one third of grit. What they need is a well drained compost with a decent amount of food in it. I feed with half strength Tomorite about every two weeks until the flowering season is over, then with a half strength Maxicrop until the beginning of winter.
If yours are just newly potted up seedlings then they will not flower until next Spring. Babies are best fed gently with Maxicrop (or Baby Bio) for the first season.
Keep them moist but not over wet in winter and remove any dead or dying leaves as the season progresses.
This may be useful to you.

Got a great display this year and the scent filled the porch
Now have multiple offsets to create even more next spring
Considering mine were neglected and left to die for 3 years- I'm amazed by their recovery.
In late January they were yellow, brown and quite sodden.
I scraped off the top of the compost, replaced with fresh stuff, top dressed with grit, fed half strength with tomato feed and kept them in a south facing unheated porch.

Great little plants, I moved house 4 times in 3 years so they got utterly neglected.
The labels faded and i have no idea which is which
But they bounced back and look and smell great!
I'm looking forward to taking the offsets and making more- just need to get a few more clay pots
It wasn't pleasant!
My auriculas are loving the spring sun.
I water in the morning so that they aren't wet overnight
During the hot days of summer I will move them to the coolest part of the garden so they can rest.
I'll order some green flowered ones to compliment my purples.
I think they look smashing in clay pots- right little characters.
Thought you might like to see last years seedling in flower. Most if not all of these will be discarded as not being sufficiently different nor good enough to keep.
And this years seed pots!
Oh and watch out for Vine weevils. They adore Auriculas. I have already discarded a few dozen because they were too far gone to keep with V.W.'s in the compost.
The site does not like big images.
I think auricula come from karstic zones so are happy in neutral and alkaline soil
As long as you avoid extremes, they should do well.
The only problem with a peat based compost is that vine weevils love it more than a non-peat based one, but if that is what you have then use it by all means. Just remember that the food in a mpc is designed to last about 6 weeks and after that you would need to think about feeding.
Do not be in too big a hurry to prick out the babies, unless there is a problem with them. I would be inclined to feed the seed pots to get them bigger before moving them on. Bit worried that you say they have no roots. When I am ready to deal with mine they usually have a good set of roots on them.
How big are your seedlings?
