Cut the hose to the desired length, cut a short slit in one end so that you can attach the two ends of the hose, creating a loop, and simply slip it under the pot. This will prevent water damage to floors and also make it easier to move the pot around.

Create a door stop by cutting off a small section of hose that can slip neatly under a door, holding it firmly in place.
