I thought you take them out the pot for the roots to grow etc

But i'm not sure if you do or not when cycleing ... someone else might be able to help on that!

Take them out or they will become stunted and pot bound.

In my experiance, the roots grow out the bottom of the pots anyway. And they've gone on to grow nicely.
I keep mine in the pots, but submerge the pot completely in my gravel so it's not seen.
With some plants though, you may need to weight them once out of the pot.

You really don't have to take them out of the pots at all. I've had these two potted plants for more than a year now (idk what they're called) but they seem to thrive either way, whether you take it out of the pot or not. Just seems thats its easier to take care of when you leave it in.
