I think you mean Gypsophila paniculata, commonly known as Baby's-
breath
A good multi purpose compost with pearlite, or gravel added should be
fine, but make sure if you are potting it you usera large pot I'd want
at least a 3 litre pot but better something bucket size.
I'd add a water retention granule such as Swell Gell toi the compost
as it will help to save watering, and it actualy helps with drainage.
