Hi everyone! I just bought an aglaonema from the grocery store and the plant seems to be doing well but the soil situation is sketchy. Do you all have a preferred soil mix for aglaonemas?

I had a aglaonema that was in great shape, but I had to give away due to my very curious dog. She came in a mixture made by the nursery she was in, but I ended up repotting her when she grew in a mixture of Espoma’s Organic All-Purpose Mix (~$5-7), perlite, and kept the remaining slow-release fertilizer pellets that were at the top of her soil from her original pot. Hope this helps!
