I recently bought and moved into a new house. It has an active mitigation system, but I don’t know anything about it or its condition. We did a radon test during our inspection, and the average was at 3.9, but the highest measured peak was 8.5. I bought my own monitoring system after moving in. I’ve had it for seven days now, and it’s been averaging at 2.6, but it’s up at 6.5 today.

Not sure if I need to monitor longer to determine if it is an issue or go ahead and do something about it, whether contacting a professional or figuring out how to do something myself.

Any advice?

My wife has had this plant for a long time. It originally was her grandfather’s, who passed away years ago, so she has a lot of sentiment for it, however, she doesn’t have a green thumb. I’ve never taken care of a succulents, but I want to do my best to get it as healthy as possible. Any tips or guidelines are greatly appreciated.

The roots appear to be very shallow (not sure if that is normal). There’s also white mold on the surface of the soil. The plant is currently in a black plastic pot sitting inside a ceramic pot.

My initial plan is to repot with new succulent potting mix soil, taking care to remove any dead parts. I am also going to relocate to a sunnier place in the house.

Is there anything I need to look for on the roots to determine if they are healthy or need to be removed? Should I get a new pot to place it in? If so, what type of pot? Water schedule?

Thanks for the help!
