Is Chlorophytum suitable for deep or shallow pots?

Should Chlorophytum be planted in a deep or shallow pot?

Chlorophytum is more suitable to be maintained in shallow pots because the root system of the plant is not well developed. If the pot is too deep, the water in the soil cannot penetrate in time, and root rot is likely to occur.

Clay pots are the most suitable for the growth of spider plants, because the roots of the plants are afraid of waterlogging, and clay pots have good drainage, which is more suitable for the growth of the plants and is also very cost-effective.
