In no particular order. Tropica plants are available from the first two and are highly reccomended by the likes of George Farmer. The next three also do "bundles" for a reasonable price.

www.aquaessentials.co.uk
www.birstall.co.uk
www.java-plants.com
www.plants-alive.co.uk
www.aquaticplants.eu.com

As for the pots, I think you're supposed to remove the pot and the wool before planting to let the roots grow out. Not sure if it causes problems leaving it on, I'm sure someone will advise.

Take the plants out of the pots or, as the plants grow the roots will stifle & rot.

Separate the individual plantlets out and plant them separately.

Alwys sanitize plants BEFORE putting them in your tank:

If you are not dosing Ferts of some kind and your substrate is sterile (i.e. just the blue & white stuff I can see), sorry to say this, but don't expect your plants to last very long!

Good list of recommended on-line plant suppliers there.
BTW, www.plantsalive.co.uk do sell surplus bundles of unnamed plants for a fraction of the cost.
(@connorsbala, the site is plantsalive, without the hyphen).
Get 50 bundles for a fiver sort of thing. Do a site search for ''surplus''.

Oops, sorry for the typo. www.plantsalive.co.uk has no hyphen indeed
