The idea is to get the volume to be 50% air/ 50% water when the pot is fully saturated. you get that with 1:1 mixture with sphagnum peat moss. There's research to back this up and how much perlite or similar essentially equates to the above mixture of water/gas per volume. Coco coir holds 2/3rds the amount of water per volume compared to sphagnum peat moss. Based on same 50%water/50%air target, that's a 2:1 ratio for coco coir. 70/30 is close enough and that's what it comes premixed at, so convenience over being anal isn't going to make a huge difference. More will only increase frequency of irrigation with little to no benefit. i.e. just more work. Follow these ratios and it's damn near impossible eto overwater a plant... if you are it has to do with frequency. Let it dry more between in that case. remember, the plant does 95% of the work.. we just have to not screw up. don't try to force things. let them happen.

Mouse liegt richtig. Die Wurzeln haben nicht ausreichend Sauerstoff bekommen. Das liegt in der Regel an einer Überwässerung der Pflanze.
