I have a Hoya , actually I believe the pot has 2 types nearly alike in it . I think H. carnosa and rope hoya. ea summer I get many blooms the purplish squares that open into the fleshy pink stars w/ dark eye center. I have had it at least 5 or 6 years and it has never been repotted. I csannot believe that by now it dosnt need new soil, but have no idea how to do this. I consider myself a fairly experienced plant person with a greed thumb. Many are amased at some of my plants and how well they do. I'm not great withe the scientific / latin names, abut do own a Hortis third. so that shows my interest ( I hink)...anyway: any tips on propigation and also of course what type soil and mixture to repott in. or should I just leave as is and remove what soil I can and ammend as possible (that is what I had to do wih an 11 ft burro's tail once-----I thought I remembered the H.carnosa name from a book id, however, from some above posts mine must be an H. oboto or ovoboto ??, the other is in the same pot and the leaves look similar, but have a "curl" to them.
anyway my need is for repotting info.
Thankyou
