I don't plant them deeply because it is raining here so there's not enough bottom heat. If you have 6 hours s of sun and a place where you can put the pot to get bottom heat, I think you can pot them like normal. But just hold off on too much water. The soil when kept moist is better than "wet". I also mix water and hydrogen peroxide on my "mister" to prevent rot.
I am like you, I feel bad when I loose plants.
