All I ever use if Miracle Grow potting soil. I have about 35 House plant in my home.
Even when I managed a Tropical Greenhouse, I still use Miracle Gro Potting soil.

You can get Miracle Gro either with or without the moisture crystals depending on what you want (I've killed more plants by overwatering than by underwatering, so I always buy the version without the crystals!) You're stuck with the fertilizer though, but I'm one of those lazy people who never remembers to fertilize my plants, so at least with the MG I know they're getting something!
I usualy mix my own using different amounts of vericulmite, perlite, milled spagum moss, peat, general organic garden soil and sand depending on the plant. But sometimes when I am lazy I like either one Pro-Mix or Miracle Gro. The're both fine
