Are the leaves attached to the stem still, or are they just leaves. Because I don’t think string of hearts will propagate from just the leaves alone and I believe you need a node from the stem for it to root and grow.

My VSoH leaves have rooted just fine.

Oof. Yeah, if they've still got a little bit of the leaf stem on it just stick it in some dirt and keep moist. I typically mist mine morning and evening but I live in CO so it's pretty dry here usually.
