I usually handle my pot plants with caution. Normally if I remove any Pot, I smoke it.

Oh wait.....I'm sorry, You said "potted" plants! My bad. I have done it both ways....Left some in and hid the pot behind rocks and I've taken them out and rooted them in the substrate. Most will do fine either way.

I would take it out of the pot before planting.

i always take mine out of the pots and rinse the roots in some old tank water just to get most of the wool off them.
