Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Psychotria vinkii: repot after 2X growth

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Psychotria vinkii after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Just got myself a Psychotria They are about 5 inches big and look to be in good shape. Any recommendations for soil composition or some brands that I can use to repot? Can I leave outside; if so when should I give it the most light? A bit much to ask but I’m new.
