Best Soil for Pothos?

Just wondering best soil for Pothos, I havent heard great things about Miracle Grow. Still a new to plants and eager to learn!
1ft to light, direct
3” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
I use regular potting soil plus perlite and orchid bark for a well draining mix. Good luck ☺️
I agree with @pothosslut - I love tossing together my own soil mix for my plants.

If you only have Miracle Grow, you can add lots of things to it to make it better: perlite, sand, bark, coconut husk, orchid mix -- things to make the soil drain better.

The thing I keep on hand all of the time is perlite - it's inexpensive and it aerates the soil so roots don't get strangled and compacted.
