You're welcome and good luck with them!  Another thing I should mention, is that
if these are small plants you could pot them on to larger containers.  That
would give them more of a moisture reserve and nutrition.  If they're too big to
handle then I wouldn't try this, but just feed them regularly to make up for
the soil.
