A grower increased peat to 2.5:1 peat/perlite in 16-inch pots because water trays only reach 1/3 up the pot, hoping to retain more moisture.
Jacob Farin advised against high peat ratios. Aeration is vital; too much peat leads to foul soil faster. They use 1:1 even in large pots with water at 1/4 pot height. Even their bathtub bog garden uses standard mix without standing water.
