I don't know what's going on with my plants. I have it indoors with grow light and I water twice a week when I can see the soil is getting dry. The new leaves are either too small or not there at all.
It doesn’t look like it’s dying? My string of hearts does the same thing, when the new shoots are fully grown they get bigger.

It doesn’t look like it’s dying at all, but I’d switch to watering when the leaves feel/look thirsty instead of on a schedule or based on when the soil dries out.

I don’t think it looks bad but don’t know how it started. I have two string of hearts that I pretty much neglect and they’re super happy about it.
I’ve got them in terracotta pots. One directly in southern window, the other about 6 feet from it (but getting enough light to cast shadow behind it.) I have it in the soil I use for other string plants (succulent soil with extra perlite and maybe some pumice if I had some when I potted them.) I water when the leaves start softening and I can bend them into taco shell shape, which means the soil has felt dry for several days.

Cover it was a zip lock bag.

It doesn’t look too bad not sure if maybe it was fuller beforehand, but maybe try watering once a week instead of twice to see how it does. I’d base it more on the leaves than the soil. When the leaves look more limp or deflated then it’s time. Do the taco method, see if the leaves are firm or kinda bend in
