Depending on the paint, the green rough side of a scrub sponge is very lightly sandpaper-like and might work. You'd want the surface just lightly rough for paint to stick better anyway, so might try it on the bottom or backside as a test.

What type of paint did you paint it with? If Acrylic, you can easily get it off with either Dot 3 brake fluid, or Pinesol/Pine cleaner. Soak it over night then hit it with an old toothbrush. If you used Latex, it is far more complicated

Calling it a pot leaf is being generous. It really more resembled some sort of flaky ping pong paddle.
