They like bright indirect light. I like to put mine in a chunky well draining mix. Don't water until they've dried out completely. To reach the bottom of the pot to check if its still moist, I like to use a moisture meter. There is no way to get my finger to the bottom of the pot with the soil mix I use. If you want to see the growth really take off, they like a lot of humidity. They do okay at typical household humidity, but I put mine in a grow cabinet and most of my hoyas grow much more quickly. They also propagate really easily so they're easy to share with friends or make multiple plants to fill out a pot.
