What potting medium is best for cuttings?

What potting medium is best for cuttings? Exspecualy softwood cuttings from trees and shrubs. I‘ve been using just regular potting soil but it seems to heavy and holds to much water. I need something for proper drainage and air flow. I‘ve read stuff Like purlite, Sphagnum moss, and vermiculite. What can you use if you don‘t have any of that?

Answer:

It is lighter because it is full of peat moss.
I use seed starter mix. I think the Miracle Gro brand makes a seed starter mix, it's much lighter than reg potting soil.
