What is the best potting soil mix I can buy for my house plants? I’m new to houseplants and I have 2 plants that isn’t doing good cause I think I put the wrong potting soil in the pots. So I use garden magic potting soil I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. Please any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you all.

Both my spider plant and philodendron Brazil are in a soil mix of 50/50 potting mix/perlite
