Hi Ting,
Thanx for your question.  All I can tell you without knowing the exact type of plant you have is that most seeds are planted at least as deep as they are long.  Make sure you use a good quality potting soil available at most garden centers.  Keep the soil moist but not soggy.  When you notice the soil beginning to dry at the top give the pot a gentle watering.  Keep the pots in a warm place where temperatures are consistent and around 75 degrees F (23 or 24C).  Do not use any fertilizer until the seed germinates (sprouts) and sends up its first set of true leaves.  Keep the pot in a sunny windo with a southern or eastern exposure.  Actually, if you could keep the pots about 6 inches underneath a 40-watt shoplight, that would be best.  I hope this helps.
Tom
