What would I have to do to grow aquarium plants out of water?
I want to try and grow some of the plants I have in a pot.

Here's some of the plants I have:A lot about that would depend on what kind of plant you're doing this with. I wouldn't want to venture any general advice without a better idea what you're working with.
To go either way from submersed to emersed, or vice versa, expect the current foliage to die off and be replaced with all new shoots that can grow in the altered environment. The root system will transition from totally saturated conditions, to just soggy or moist soil, too. Expect more die-back and new growth under there too. Keep everything real humid at first. A desktop sized greenhouse, of sorts. I'm not sure. Depends a lot on what type of plant this is.
Also.. where are you trying to get this plant to live? On a table.. in a terrarium?
My Firebellied toad's paludarium:
So far, I've gotten Moneywort, java moss, anubias, pennywort, and crypts to succesfully grow emersed in a humid environment. The pennywort grows like a ground vine and crawls up the sides, the moneywort grows tall and straight, and the java moss stays low to the ground with a bright green color that looks almost like a terrestrial moss.
