I would pot it in some regular Miracle Grow potting soil, not moisture control. If you could get some Fertiloam Ultimate Potting Mix that would be better, but I don't think Home Depot has it.

Any potting soil that you find there will do. Buy some time release fertilizer and mix it in..your fig will be happy
