Peat is soiless just like coco,feed daily to runoff just like coco.
A big problem with peat is its tendency to waterlog --- this destroys roots pretty quickly.
Adding a lot of perlite might aerate the medium but there's also the low pH to contend with...

This can be a hotly debated topic among growers as to what's the best media for growing plants. In this article, I'll weigh in with my opinion on the subject as there are Pros and Cons to both.

Smaller pots and lots of aeration like perlite or rice hulls etc. You definitely shouldnt use pure peat moss.

It was a peat moss perlite mix mabey 20 - 30% perlite but it was still staying soaked and that was in a 6" pot
