Lots of light and not too much water.

Hello Corel, and welcome to the gardening forum!
String of Hearts like a lot of bright light, but not direct outdoor sun.
They are somewhat succulent, and should almost dry out between waterings.
It's in a fast draining pot, with fast draining soil. When you do water, soak it well until water runs out the bottom, then let it get pretty dry before watering again.
Don't repot it for at least a year, it's just getting established and is busy growing roots.
They like warm temps, it will be happiest at 80+. Don't let it go below about 60 degrees.
Did you acquire this plant in Arizona? I think I might be the one who started it from cuttings. I'm happy to see it doing well, and assume you had a safe trip. Does this look like the mother plant ?

@MsDoe Thank you for the warm welcome and for sharing your helpful tips. I will definitely keep that in mind.

Also, I wanted to say that your string of hearts is absolutely stunning! I'm so impressed by how healthy and vibrant it looks. It does look like a mother plant thanks for sharing its offspring!

By the way, I actually acquired this plant from a local nursery. But thank you again for your advice and for sharing your beautiful plant with me!
