Is Clematis suitable for deep or shallow pots?

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for clematis?

Clematis is more suitable for maintenance in deep pots because this plant grows more vigorously and has a well-developed root system. The depth of the flowerpot should not be less than 20 cm, otherwise it will be detrimental to the extension of the plant's roots.

In terms of material, terracotta pots are the most suitable for growing clematis. The pots have good air and water permeability, can better meet the growth needs of the plants, and have certain ornamental value.
