What’s a good custom potting mix for indoor plants that live outside during the summer and inside during the winter in the south (sc)?

i just use normal tropical mix 🤷 40% soil, 60% whatever amendments you like. mine are an even 20/20/20 split of perlite, orchid bark, and coco chips. might have to water more frequently for some of them depending on the individual plant
