greetings.
Planteguide this artical is rather decent, you can use google translate to read it or just look at the pictures, either way sould work.
the section called "plante dybter" depicts how deep the plant sould be in the gravel.

Just be sure any "non" stem plants aren't planted too deep. Only plant the roots not the crowns in those type of plants. Also with any stem plants be sure to cut the bottom 1/2" to 1" off before planting to giving a good live area on the stem for roots to grow from. Plant short plants in front and work your way up to largest plants to the back. And remember stem plants can be cut to any height you want them so you can use them just about anywhere in the tank. Also be sure to plant each stem individually and space them so each stems leaves can almost but not quite touch the stems leaves around it. Anubia's get attached to DW. I use 100% black cotton thread to tie mine on with and over time the thread disolves and the anubia will be attached via the roots by the time that happens. And of course the baby tears go in the front of the tank preferably where they get alot of light. Hope this helps.
