Yes, you had this buried much too deeply. The mix should just touch the base of the rhizome. A little deeper is OK IF you can see the top of the connection between bulbs. I would put a clear baggie over the plant and pot, but leave plenty of opening at the bottom of the bag to be sure there is actually air moving from outside the bag into the bag, just at a slower rate. When you see roots starting from the new growth (and yes, you need to have the level of the mix low enough to see this), you can wait another 2 or 3 weeks to let the new roots grow a bit, then remove the bag, as the new roots should be able to take in water at the rate needed by the. I hope you are keeping the pot very small so that the pot will dry fast, an important thing for this plant. You can always move the root ball into a larger pot later and fill around the forward part with new mix when it gets too large for the small pot.
