I have a Christmas tree I was bought at Christmas in a pot - I need to replant in a bigger pot I think. It says suitable for any soil? Any tips? It’s not looking too perky lately! Thank you!
I wouldn't hold out too much hope for that, regardless of soil or anything else. Some of these don't have great rootballs when they've been sold for that purpose, and as soon as they start drying out, it's almost impossible to rejuvenate them. Get it into a bigger pot - an inch or two more in diameter, in moisture retentive soil [not alkaline] out of the sun, and keep it well watered. Soak it thoroughly before you re pot it too, or water will just run through. Keep it off the ground so that it also has drainage, then wait and see if it recovers. If it does, and puts on growth, you can pot it on again later in the year.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

If it fails just get another one this Christmas and pot it on as soon as you take down your decs. Mine was potted out almost immediately. And keep it well watered over Christmas.
