How to care for a red amaryllis bulb...?

I received a gift for Christmas from Seracon Candles. It is an indoor "Winter Bloom" Red Amaryllis bulb, and says you don't need a "green thumb or even a brown thumb" to plant it successfully. Apparently I have no thumbs at all because I can't figure out how to plant it correctly. The planter is glass and has a bottom base that is filled with stones. There is then some.... grass-like stuff on top, and then the bulb itself. What do I actually do with this???

Put the stones in the bottom, add the bulb, fill with water up to 1/2inch from the top of the bulb, push the moss like stuff in around the bulb and wait, keep the water at the same depth don't let it dry out.
Reply:We've grown them in the yard for years. We plant the bulbs just barely covered with soil. Your instructions for the kit you have should be somthjing close to that.
