Picking fruit or flowers that are growing in a flowerpot is forbidden on Shabbat; it's no different to plants growing in the ground.
Moving a flowerpot from the floor to an elevated surface is forbidden on Shabbat, since the plant draws nourishment from the floor, and this would be similar to uprooting it, which is forbidden.
Similarly, moving a flowerpot from a table or other surface to the floor would be similar to planting which is forbidden on Shabbat.
The above applies to flowerpot made of any material, and irrespective of whether or not it has a hole on the bottom.
