Any help on balding string of hearts, I’ve started propagating some to replant at the top on the plant but was wondering if there was anything else I could do

    try coiling the strings up on top of the soil. the idea is to get the strings to grow more roots along the nodes. the downside is no more “hanging” plant for a while but it may help. i did this with my string of pearls about a year ago and it totally saved the plant. photos below. unfortunately i don’t have the “balding” photo for comparison, but these show you what i mean by coiling the strings on top of the soil. notice the new growth in 6 weeks. hope this helps.
