This year has been TOUGH and since plants can help improve our health & happiness, Health Suite 110 has initiated an Adopt-A-Plant program for our members who would find joy and solace in welcoming a new member to their family. Each plant comes with its own coffee mug pot and custom care sheet, created by HS110 staff.

​Please email us at hello@healthsuite110.com if you'd like to adopt or be placed on the waiting list once new critters are available!
​​There is no adoption fee, however we gladly accept donations or cute coffee mugs ​to help support this ongoing project.
​Thank you!

Hank "Heart"
Fishhook Cactus ( Mammillaria dioica)

Fishhook cacti remind us that having and showing heart is not a weakness. Regardless of how tough you may look on the outside, the toughest person is one who can be vulnerable and let their heart speak volumes.

​How to take care of Hank:  Although Hank may look like a tough cactus, he actually has bit more of a softer side and is not afraid to show it. He finds happiness in warmer areas of the house, and he prefers not to have the sun directly shining down on him since it can turn him crispy. During the summer months, Hank would like to be watered at least once a week. As you water him, you will start to notice tiny flowers blooming since he has a lot of love to give, all around.


How Hank can take care of you: To have heart, is to have the ability to let down that tough exterior from time-to-time and show love to those around you. Often times, we can feel pressured to maintain an indestructible personality because we are trying to be strong for someone else, or set some sort of an example. When Hank’s flowers start to bloom, they remind you to not let the world bring you down…everything you need is inside of you and you too can produce beautiful things regardless of who you are.

Loretta "Healing"
Aloe Vera  (Aloe Barbadensis miller)

Aloe Vera reminds us that help and healing go hand-in-hand. No matter how big or small the problem is, we all deserve to receive help and the tools we need for healing. 

​How to take care of Loretta:  Loretta is known to stay mostly indoors since direct sunlight tends to burn her tender skin. However, if you decide to plant her outside, make sure that the sunlight is indirect and she’s planted with similar succulents of her kind. In regards to hydrating she prefers to be watered regularly. If the top 2 inches of her soil is dry, that’s a good indication that she might be thirsty. If you start to notice that her leaves are starting to look a little shriveled, it might be that she is in need of water. To help heal her, just water her and she will recover. 

How Loretta can take care of you: Aloe Vera has been used in many different ways over the years. It provides a ton of benefits, including, aiding in digestive health, skin-healing, immune-boosting, anti-aging and most importantly, emotional healing.  That being said, asking for help whether it involves a health concern or a personal struggle is important. So keep Loretta around to remind you to turn to your support systems when times are tough so that way you can acquire the tools you need to help and heal your heart.

Pennie "Diversity"
Moon Cactus  (Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii)

Pennie is one of a kind just like you. Although she might look a little different, she is still a cactus. 

​How to take care of Pennie:  Pennie loves lots of direct sunlight. She likes being indoors and outdoors but prefers to not have the hot summer sun shining down on her since it can scorch her. Pennie doesn't like to be watered too much. She, like many other cacti, are drought-tolerant. So make sure you hydrate her only when her soil is completely dry.

How Pennie can take care of you: Can you imagine a world where everyone was the same? Having Pennie around will remind you that we are made and allowed to be different because different still means that you are equally full of love and life. We all bring different strengths to the table in hopes to continue to make this world a better place.

Beatrice "Strength"
Ball Cactus  (Parodia Magnifica)
Beatrice reminds us that strength can come in different shapes and sizes. Small or tall, we all have what it takes to push through difficult moments in life. 

​How to take care of Beatrice:  Beatrice loves lots of direct sunlight. She likes being indoors and outdoors but prefers to not have the hot summer sun shining down on her since it can leave her a little too parched. To keep Beatrice strong and thriving, water her only when her soil is completely dry (once a week).

How Beatrice can take care of you: Sometimes we often question our strength depending on who we are or the circumstances that we are involuntarily put in. Strength isn't represented in just one kind of way, we find it when we are pushed beyond our limits. When we learn how to overcome hardships through a healthier means, even if it means asking for help, that is strength... and that's the kind of constant reminder that Beatrice can bring for you. 

Wilson "Caring"
​Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Just like Wilson's stripes, your great qualities seem to shine less when there is not enough balance in all aspects of your life. So keep Wilson with you and  let him help with cleansing your heart and your home.  ​​

How to take care of Wilson: Wilson doesn’t like bright direct sunlight since it can start to scorch his leaves. He thrives more in indirect light and a good way to know that he is doing well is when his stripes look more prominent. That being said, he loves water but not to a point where his soil gets too soggy, so once a week should be sufficient.

How Wilson can take care of you: Negativity and toxicity can hang in the air we breathe, the environment we are in and sometimes even the people we surround ourselves around. Having Wilson around teaches you to prioritize and detox yourself from that toxicity. 

Erwin "Caring"

Geraldine "Perseverance"
​(Kalanchoe Tomentosa)
Kalanchoe Tomentosas remind us that when we are faced with failures, it's ok to fall, but to also remember to pull ourselves up and not let defeat define us.
How to take care of Geraldine: She loves the bright sun shining on her leaves throughout the day, both direct and indirect light are her favorite. 
 
When it comes to watering, only water her when her soil feels dry. If you notice her leaves start to fall, don’t panic…she’s strong just like you, take a step back from watering and you will see her rise to the sky again.
 
Oh, also, she might not make the best of friends with your furry companion so make sure that she is further away from them!
 
How Geraldine can take care of you: She might look and feel soft on the outside but trust me when I say she is full of might. She teaches you that failure doesn’t define you, there is always a way to push yourself up past those moments where it feels as though nothing is possible. So breathe, re-evaluate, and rise because you will persevere. 

Betty "Self worthiness"
​(Echeveria Affinis Black Knight)
Echeverias remind us to feel worthy despite our many complicated layers.
How to take care of Betty: she loves lots of sunlight during the daytime, however the afternoon sun in the summer can cause her leaves to burn, so Betty would love to turn in a little earlier during summers. Water can be a friend or foe. Betty doesn't like too much water, so a good way to check if she might need some hydration is by feeling the soil. If it is dry to touch, then she's thirsty. Also, Betty appreciates her leaves to be kept dry when watering.

How Betty can take care of you: Betty teaches you how to feel worthy of yourself during difficult times. Sometimes a little time for yourself goes a long way. As you water Betty, it might be confusing how just a little bit of water is enough, but as you watch her leaves bloom, she will help you remind yourself that a little self-care goes a long way.

Bernadette "Relaxation"
​(Lavender)
Lavender has been known to help with providing a calm atmosphere and decreasing anxiety.
How to take care of Bernadette: she loves to bask in the sun throughout the day. Her favorite place to be is near a south-facing window, which gives a lot of sunlight. She does loves to be thoroughly hydrated, but overwatering can result in root rot, so allow her soil to become slightly dry between waterings.  Bernadette is a homebody, which makes her an excellent companion indoors beside you.

How Bernadette can take care of you: Bernadette's main goal is to help you feel calm and relaxed. She understands that life can be stressful, especially now, so let her scent help you inhale and exhale through those difficult times. Having Bernadette near you may not solve your problems, but can help bring you the silence and serenity that you need to approach the situation in a more calm state of being.
