You mean to get them out of the pots? All you should have to do is press in the sides of the pots all the way around and then you should be able to pull the plant out from there. You shouldn't have to cut the pot at all.

When I transplant I like to do it just before a watering so I have a little bit of dry soil. Just be super careful not to rip the roots. It sucks..... LOL

If it is a flimsy nursery pot you can cut the top and then rip the rest off leaving the roots perfect

I like square pots because it seems easier to remove the rootball from them over circle pots. Most circle pots give me a hard time and I have to cut slits down the sides to maneuver the plant out. Make sure the dirt isn't so dry that it will crumble once removed.
