Here's my recipe for DIY potting soil. It's worked really well for us over the years: https://thekitchengarten.com/diy-potting-soil/
always use a good quality potting soil; never 'dirt' from your yard; be sure pots have sufficient drainage.
I agree with using really good potting soil. I usually add a little more peat moss. Some plants have different requirements amending the soil, so check out your specific plants to see if they like acidic soil, or other things added. I use gardeningknowhow.com for looking up my plants when I get something I haven't planted before. They have many articles on almost every plant on care, problems you could have with disease, bugs, etc. It is a very good reference. Good luck with your potted plants, JoAnn!
they do sell one at the home improvement stores
