I find if I do slits with a knife instead of drilled or punched holes the roots stay in the cup because there's less gap in the plastic but the water still drains out just as easily. But leaving it will have them air prune themselves, so probably doesn't matter...

I bent the main stem in half to get a better profile...

Either trim or let em dry out. If they sit in a tray, lift em up so the roots aren't sitting in the water and keep growing.

This might go against the "rules", but this may work. There happens to be a little cup holder right in the middle of this potholder. Cup fits perfectly with room on the bottom still. I could even do an ad hoc Hydro experiment. Haven't done hydro at all neither. That would totally blow the rules up. ;)
