gazanias in plugs - how long can they live?

a1cat

we've got a place in the sun and I ordered some cheap gazania plugs, hoping to take them out in whit week. well, they didn't arrive in time so i had my week in the sun and they were delivered to outr place in the uk instead. they're now sitting on the windowsill looking quite healthy and growing but a bit cramped. i'm watering and feeding them.

the plan is to take them out to the place in the sun on about 23 july, still in the plugs.

do you think i can keep them going that long? the amount of soil in each plug is miniscule but i guess with hydroponics there is no soil at all.

what do you reckon? any tips?

ps sent one handedly as on the phone

I got some cheap ones from t and m with the £5 voucher
I planted some gave some away and still have a few trays left that have not been repotted and they have been in the plugs for about 8 weeks and still look really well i am keeping them very wet and will use them to fill gaps in the season did this before with gazanias kept them going until begining of august did give them a bit of liquid feed though and i think that may help.

That's encouraging, I am feeding them plenty
