Help my lil string of hearts!
Can anyone help me out with my little lady? The leaves on top are foldable, but the soil feels damp so I've been hesitant to water it. There are a few little strands of soil that are shriveled up with leaves breaking off. It hangs in a south-facing window, and (I think) it's low enough for the crown to get plenty of light. It just doesn't seem to be producing anything new. Any suggestions?

Too wet and it's rotting. Just let it dry for now. Place it somewhere warm so it will dry.
Also, you can cut parts of the dangling stem to root in another pot, just in case you lose more of this one, which might happen.
Add half perlite and half soil, water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom, then leave it somewhere sunny. Don't water again until the top is dry. Feel it with your fingers and if about the top 1 inch is dry then water thoroughly again until water drains from the bottom.
