I do take then to the sink to soak them occasionally. Most of the time I use a kitty litter jug of rain water or filtered water with additives or not, I put a rack, like a baking rack, on a tub trug like fooferdoggie described. I set the plants on the rack and water into the tub. Then I use that run off water in a watering can to water my houseplants and outside containers. That way I'm not carrying 100 plants to the sink.

I like the rack idea. I have a hook to have the mounted ones above the tub.
