Welcome to the Greg community Nayeli.
Cute little heuschkeliana, I have a couple of them. They like bright indirect light, east facing window is great where they get morning sun. They like to dry out between watering.
With its thick water-storing leaves and mostly short roots, Hoya Heuschkeliana does not need much water. Water it as you would a succulent – let the soil entirely dry before watering thoroughly. Keep the soil of Hoya Heuschkeliana moist during the spring and summer season, that is, its active growing season.
Hoya Heuschkeliana is quite susceptible to root rot, so use a moisture meter or your finger in the soil to examine the soil’s humidity in advance of watering. The leaves, too, will curl and wrinkle when they are in need of some water.
Do not let your soil get dry to a point where your Hoya Heuschkeliana leaf starts to get shriveled; hence keep an eye on the plant and provide sufficient water to it. Your hoya is an epiphytic, so it is used to having the rich matter in which they will grow. The mixture you can use is a blend of organic potting soil, compost, worm castings, and orchid growing mixture (which is a combination of fine bark and perlite).
Hope this helps.

@nenisgreenery sweet little Hoya! 🥰 Don’t overwater would be the best advice! Mine also enjoy a little bit of a sun bath but not too strong or for too long. I’m in So CA so the sun can be intense here especially this time of year. And we don’t have tall trees to filter any sunlight coming in so I’m mindful of that and put them in a window where there’s an overhang from the roof. I give mine a very diluted amount of fertilizer in the water, every time I water. Whatever the directions say I cut the amount of fertilizer in half. Hoyas are the best, enjoy!! 😊
