Fiddle leaf fig soil?

I brought home a flf in a 5" pot about a month ago. It's in what I hope to be it's permanent spot and seems to be fine. I want to pot it up to a 6" pot.

What type of packaged soil should I use?

Any additional tips are very welcome.

    A fiddle leaf fig is a tree. The larger the pot the better. They're fast growers. If it looks to large for the pot, prune off about a quarter of the top and it will reward you by branching out. You should be able to root the part you cut off by placing it in water.

    Any all purpose potting soil. Garden centers, Kmart, Wal mart some supermarkets sell it. The more expensive ones have 3 months fertilizer mixed it. But you can do that yourself. with just a pinch of dry fertilizer every time you water
