Question
I need basic care tips on keeping this plant.  
I'd like to know how much (and often)water they require,what type of lighting(i.e. west,eastern exposure)how often,if anytime,do I need to fertilize.
Any tips you can pass along would be helpful.

hoyas(hindu rope plants) are in the succulent family. better to error on the dry side. however if they remain dry for too long they will lose flowers and become susceptable to mealy bug infestations.
the care would still be similar as for most tropical plants.
whenever the nitetime temps go below 45 you should bring them inside(even if only for the nite). if the day temps are above 50 you can leave them outside during the day.
water by weight. put a saucer under the pot. water and let the plant sit in the excess water for 5-10 minutes.  after that time pour off any excess water in the saucer.  pick up the pot.  it should feel heavy.  don't water again until it feels considerably lighter in weight.  outdoors check the plant everyday. indoors check it every 5-10 days.  watering frequency depends on many factors(sun exposure, wind, day temps, etc.). most plants will do best in a morning sun exposure(easterly). fert. about once a month during the growing season.
good luck.
