Many people will lighten it up with perlite a bit. 1-3 ratio perhaps to start.
This will facilitate drainage and root growth.

Miracle grow works well too but you have to lighten it up also.
There are some good youtube videos on making high quality soilless mix's that can help you make a decision.

Take a photo when the plant is settled.

Better listen to your grandma, she knows.

Fertilizing gives them strength to survive the winter.
