Is there something wrong with my Hoya carnosa compacta??😟
I just bought this plant from Facebook like 3 days ago (haven’t needed to water it yet). Since I got it, it gets consistent bright indirect light. But i saw these spots..is it fungal? Please help☹️
It’s probably just adjusting to a new location. You may need to experiment with light and watering a bit.

Unfortunately, it absolutely looks fungal
– maybe botrytis?
But, I would wait about a week and let it settle. Don’t move it anywhere. Sometimes they develop Edema because they don’t like to be disturbed.
If it hasn’t improved or seems to spread or begins to drop leaves start treating for a fungal infection immediately

It’s not getting enough light. Find your brightest window and put it like two feet from the glass. The plant needs to be able to cast its own clearly-defined shadow
Be careful that you don’t burn it, so don’t put it directly in the window until you’re sure it can handle that. But based on the shadows in your photo, I’d guess it’s at least six to eight feet away from the window currently, so just move it up

I don’t think it looks fungal. Mine has similar spots and has been thriving for years. I do agree that it could use more light.
