did you mean potted plants, rather than pot plants?

In the UK, the phrase "pot plant" means "plant in a pot"; no cannabis implied unless the context specifically demands it.
Haha, thank you. My heritage is clearly given away by my phraseology :)
I'm pretty sure they meant pot plants. It's a plant, but that's in a pot, not in the ground.
In California (and likely the rest of US but I don't know), "Pot plants" exclusively refers to Marijuana in its plant form. "Potted plants" is what we call what you're describing. It's a plant, but it's been potted.
