Hoyas aren`t one of my own favourites, but from what I know of them they are pretty hardy and can live a long time without too much in the way of meticulous care and attention.

If you are thinking about pests then there are three common garden pests, aphids, mealy bugs, red spider mites and scales. These are easily controlled by systemic insecticides, unless you are opposed to their use. Many control them with plain old rubbing alcohol. Many spray it on the plants right from the bottle. Others dilute it with water and add soap or sticker spreaders to it. Some say you should wash the alcohol off after it has done its job, but it isn't necessary. It does no harm as long as the sun doesn't hit the plants while they are still wet - it is no different than plain water in that respect. Some use insecticidal soaps.

Others use preying insects. If one has only a few plants, swabbing with alcohol is the ideal method of ridding ones plants of insect pests. In a greenhouse with several thousand plants, chemical control is the only practical solution. If you can afford to hire professional handlers to apply the chemicals, then that`s highly advisable. If you do it yourself, be sure that you follow the directions on the container precisely and wear protective clothing. The best method of pest control is still to avoid them in the first place. Keeping all new plants isolated for about six weeks before introducing them into your pest free collection is the best advise you will ever follow.
