How on earth do you water your plants in macrame hangers? (sh.itjust.works)

Is there some secret to this? Either I'm trying to cautiously untangle the plant without breaking any leaves so I can water it in the sink or I'm leaking water all of the floor.

Some people put ice cubes straight in the pot, so it's a slower absorption. You could also just have a 'watering towel' that you can throw on the floor under the plants if you water them in place? Finally, if you can get them to the sink easily, maybe you could use a glass watering globe to slide through the plant matter?
