Janet..A cone of soil or "Mound" inside the planting hole or in this case a pot is the same thing you do with planting bare root roses in your gardens..check out this site for pic

and here is a pic..I just fill the pot about half full and then take my fingers and stick all five fingers/thumb into the pot close to the sides and squeeze the soil to form a pyramid of soil..making it firm..then sprinkle my bonemeal all over the cone and lay the bare root clematis on top and spread the roots over and down the cone..hold in position with one hand and fill the outer edges around the cone with soil..firming the soil as I go till almost up to the top...Jeanne
