I recently got a tiny baby SoH and apparently have no idea what it needs. Half the strings have shriveled and the others seem ok? I’ve been trying to lightly water when I can fold the leaves up over halfway.
That’s the wrong kind of soil and I bet that pot doesn’t have any drainage. You need gritty potting medium, like bonsai soil.

They prefer gritty soil- perlite, pumice, small lava rocks, coco coir. Think light, airy, and well draining. Remove the strands that are dead. Make sure all of the tubers are covered with soil. Your pot also looks a little too big for the amount you have. So the soil is probably staying too wet for too long because there’s not enough roots to suck up all the water. I would size down a couple of sizes.
