I use 3 oz solo cups for leaves and small plants; my main complaint with them is they are not very stable and fumbly me manages to knock one over way to often.
Today, I realized the cap from a 64 oz plastic bottle (of juice) will fit the cup bottom perfectly. Voila! It does not tip as easily.

It is a simple matter to burn a hole into the cap and cup with a heated screwdriver, In the photo I illustrate side holes in the cup; I doubt I will go that far; just thought I would suggest as an alternative way to water.
