Place the plants into the substrate, up to the point where the leaves meet the roots. If you have a new cutting, or a new plant, then you will need to set the plant a little deeper to give it room for the roots to develop. If you are planting aquatic plants like tubers, then set them at an angle making sure the shoots are just above the substrate.
