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.

I have 4 of these. Two of them are the ones that have integrated water catchers and only overflow if they are overwatered. One I've put a saucer in with the pot and one I just have to put a towel under it. I'd say the best option is the one with a saucer, you can visibly see that it's flowed through, you can add gravel to improve humidity.
