Last year I tried sowing Hoya seeds for the first time. It was definitely a learning experience but a very positive one. This year I wanted to up my game and invest in some seedling trays. I started off by filling the cells almost to the top with soil. I would recommend not filling it quite as high so the seedling has more room to grow taller. The soil mix I used can be found by clicking here. Then I used a wash bottle to wet the soil. The soil should not be drenched. Next, I carefully placed a seed in each cell. After that, I put a very thin layer of soil on top and dampened it with a sprinkle of water. These trays come with a ventilated dome which I placed on top. Lastly, I placed the tray on a heat mat under a grow light. I will periodically (every few days) check the soil to make sure it stays moist. If you do grow Hoya from seed, make sure to sow them ASAP while they are still viable. Do not buy fake seeds from any big corporations. The best place to find Hoya seeds is on the different Facebook Hoya groups. My personal favorite is Small Batch Tropicals.
