# Hello everyone, I love plants but so mot seem to have any luck…

Hello everyone, I love plants but so mot seem to have any luck keeping them alive. Regardless of all the love and care I put into them. I was gifted this anthurium plant. It’s in water. Do I continue to keep it there or do I transplant into soil at some  
Point?

What brand and type of soil do you recommend for transplanting. Thanks so much for any advice or recommendations.

They are prone to root rots so put it in a very chunky soil..

Thank you. I purchased Miracle Grow cactus soil based on an online search. I hope this would help.
