Corm pieces like that normally grow very slowly in the beginning and even though pitangadiego's method
will work fine, here in Puerto Rico the exposed surface will take a beating from the sun.

I prefer to use Abnshrek's method, about a half inch under the soil, although "popping up inside a week" has not been my experience.
ARH can take months before they start to effectively grow.

Because of the slow rate of growth, I plant all the pieces close together.
This also makes caring for them easier and most, if not all, will produce many plants and will need to be divided and relocated later anyways.
