Hey Pacifica :) I've definitely done this before, sometimes it helps to get a paper towl (or 2 or 3 sometimes) and press it gently but firmly against the bottom of the cup where the drainage holes are and it may wick away some of the extra water.. Also if you have mop (type with the strings) laying around, cut 1 strand off and use it as a wick.. Carefully insert it through a drainage hole in the bottom of the cup and let it hang until the water drips out.. Or put it bag in the bin with a paper towl underneath the cup so the wet wick comes into contact with it and it will help to pull the water out.. I always put a wick in my cups now from the start, really helps if you accidentally overwater, but remember to do your best not to have a heavy watering hand! They are much better off a lil too dry than too wet :) Good luck with that cutting!
