Now here is a good laugh. ALL of my larger hoyas are EA's and they are ALL in their original soil *lol*. I have bought 2 EA's and re-potted them in the "good stuff" only for them to up and die and off I went back to the store with my receipt for refund. I figure, if it isn't broke...don't fix it I guess *lol* As far as the soil getting rock hard....here's the good laugh part....when it gets real hard like that I take a butter knife and "cut" the soil all over the place until is loosens up and then I take a fork and break up any chunks. I add a teaspoon of osmocote and water well. This "aerates" them I guess as they are the only hoyas that seem to grow like gangbusters for me are the EA's for some reason. Here is my Curtisii, I would be SO afraid to re-pot her and have her die on me :(
