little tip, but your big pots into large saucers so they hang onto any water you give them. they'll dry out in a crack once they develop more foliage.

Given they are all side by side a drip or spray watering system would work well, I use a "Big Drippa" kit which provides water for 24/48 hours and can be found on amazon for less than £10 - looking good overall!
P.s. must be a sunny position as the dog looks happy!
