What should I do for my Hoya lauterbachii "Giant Wax Plant"?

Camano Island, WA(Zone 8a)

It always looks a little yellow. It's been in a west window but it's been cloudy and the sun isn't strong here. Could it want less light? I don't fertilize frequently (every month or two). Could it want more fertilizer?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I'm wondering if it might be a bit too wet. Is that potting mix really fast draining?. My lauterbachii isn't doing much at all, but the leaves are a reasonably healthy green. Mine doesn't really get fertilised. Sometimes once every 3 or 4 months if I have some left over from doing some of the orchids. Guess I should try a bit harder and it might respond.

Hmmm, interesting thought. I'll repot it in some very fast draining mix. Thank you!

No worries. Hope it turns out okay for you.
