Most succulents need to be watered twice a week during summers and only once in monsoon & winters. Varieties like Haworthias, Crassulas and Gasterias are well suited for low-light indoors and window-sills. If the leaves get too bulky, it is a sign of overwatering & if the leaves look shrivelled it is a sign of less watering.
As a general rule of thumb, all the ones with colourful leaves like Echeverias, Sedeveria and Graptopetalum like bright sunlight and semi shade in extreme summers. They cannot be kept indoors or in full shade. All succulents love morning sun.
You can fertilise your succulent once a month.
Watering tips : Make sure NOT to water on the plant itself. Water directly in the soil. You can use a cup or a glass to make sure the water does not spray on leaves. When watering, make sure water comes out of the drainage hole.

Description
Hoya kerrii 'Reverse Variegata' is an attractive slow-growing semi-FLOWulent plant with variegated heart-shaped leaves that vary in the amount of variegation. The leaves are bright green with a creamy-yellow or white center. They are upto 4 inches long and 3 inches wide.
Adult plants show inflorescences of 5 cm diameter and up to 25 flowers. They produce small balls of nectar, coloured red to brown.They smell only faintly or not at all. The heart-shaped plant looks like a thornless FLOWulent or cactus.
Environment
This plant will need a reasonably light room in order to actually grow, although it will still get by even if you pick a shadier spot. Water regularly but not too much as they are more drought resistant. Avoid watering too much. Only a little fertilizer is required if the plant is small or exists as a single leaf, twice a year at most. Growth will slow or stop if things get cool so you will need a range of between 18 C - 27 C / 65 F - 80 F for optimal growing temperatures.
Landscape Use
It is known for its ornamental values.
