You can lay the hearts on the soil and pin them down with Bobby pins. They will root and you I’ll have new strings coming off. Make sure the hearts are facing upwards. You can check when it needs watering if u try and fold the heart. If it is easy to fold then it needs water. If it is firm, which is what you want after watering then it is good for water.

Yes to all of this! But I just wanna clarify to try and fold hearts closest to the soil. If those can fold then it’s time to water. In my experience the hearts on the actual strings dry out faster so that’s why I check those closest to the soil!

Put it under grow lights. They grow and thrive off them!

a well draining soil and small (ideally shallow) pot are essential. string of hearts are crazy drought tolerant because of their tubers so it’s important to let the soil dry out totally in between waterings, or risk root rot. make sure when you repot you use a cactus and succulent mix that’s at least 60% inorganic matter like perlite and pumice
