I not an expert at all but successfully rooted an assortment of Hoya cuttings this spring by using shallow bulb pots, with bottom heat and keeping them in indirect light. For soil I used a blend of potting soil and orchid mix. As this dried out quickly, I was careful to keep it damp but not soaked. I've always heard roots started in water are not as sturdy and may fail when moved to soil so didn't try water. It is not a fast process and you may want to just trade cuttings. That is what we did... Good luck.
