Get a bag online. Like ebay or something. They're cheap

Or use styrofoam packaging material maybe. Tear them up and through them in the soil.

Perlite is important because it absorbs water and makes that water available to the plant instead of just running out the bottom.
Any good organic soil with 10-20% perlite is what I use. Miracle-Gro Potting Mix works for me.
