What soil to use for potted plants?

I'm curious, could you elaborate on the ideal soil mixture for potted plants? I've heard that a well-draining soil blend is crucial, but what specific ingredients should I aim for to ensure my plants thrive? Is there a certain ratio of compost, perlite, and vermiculite that's generally recommended? Additionally, do different types of plants require different soil compositions, or is there a versatile mix that works well for a variety of species? Thank you for your insight.
