Hoya Retusa.. do you guys think I should repot or let it be? It’s in a kinda rocky substrate which makes watering difficult (for me) because it’s almost always completely dry..

Probably repot it. It’s doing really well though and it’s a very cool plant.

You could change it substratum but don’t change its pot size because hoyas like to have tight roots.
