So I have this plant on my deck. It’s not growing? Should I repot it?

My guess is that the pot could be too big for the root system of the plant. I’d take it out and put it in a pot that’s only about 2inches larger than the root system

Is your deck in full sun? These guys like bright light but not direct sun. I would agree with the above comment, they like a moist well draining soil but make sure it’s fully dried out before watering again.
