Black Forest Begonia, Painted Lady Philodendron, Summer Glory Philodendron…… Will be in the store this morning!!!

I buy my propagated tropical houseplants exclusively from a local home nursery, Two Sprouts Plant Shop, located in Hot Springs. I bought these three plants in May, but I’ve kept them at home to enjoy. Why you ask? These were the most expensive plants I’ve ordered and I wanted to make sure they could live in a novice plant owner’s home.

The plants are thriving! The Black Forest and Summer Glory have been in an East facing window environment with filtered morning sun. The Painted Lady is West facing with morning light and very filtered afternoon sun. I’m ordering some new varieties to “test live” at home so I’m sadly selling these beautiful plants.

You can find our little shop at 303 Albert Pike Road in beautiful Hot Springs AR. We are open Tuesday to Saturday 10 to 5. Hope to see you this weekend!

Fall is just around the corner…..

09/02/2026

I love September……. Not really! It’s typically my least favorite time of year. My flowerbeds aren’t at their best, too early to plant fall plants, and still too hot. But, since adding houseplants to my life, I think I can survive this month!

We were back in my little houseplant/vintage boutique shop yesterday rearranging and adding in new pieces. The plants are thriving!! The Swinging K Family Farm goat milk soap smells amazing, and the vanity is ready for its fall/winter soy candles from Ouachita Wax and Naturals. And, we have the perfect pillows for your living spaces.

We invite you to visit our little shop, and all the other talented vendors. We are open Tuesday to Saturday 10 to 5.

We can survive September!!

Love and kindness, Carla

Coming Soon……..Fall and Winter Candles!

I am so very excited and couldn’t wait to share the news. I spent the morning with Lisa and Megan, the owners of Ouachita Wax and Naturals, collaborating on candles for this season. And, we are changing things up! I’m in my William Morris inspired era. I think because we are surrounded by beautiful woodlands and nature, and my newfound love of tropical houseplants. I shared my vision and earthy scents I had in mind, and they came up with the perfect vessels, labeling, scents and packaging.

It’s such an honor to collaborate again with these talented women. Please check out their candle and gift store located at 118 Central Avenue, Suite B, in downtown Hot Springs AR. I promise, you won’t leave empty handed!

Pumpkin Spice Latte……. Goat milk soap is here! It means Fall is right around the corner. I just picked up a goat milk soap order and Dawn at Swinging K Family Farm picked out some great fall scents for you. You can go through the pedestal sink of all the scents, and you can also find the soap and lotion on our cool 1930’s art deco vanity.

I’ve been really inspired by all the beautiful trees and wildlife in our beautiful little city so we have a William Morris look going on in the shop.

We are open 10 to 5 today - we would love to have you stop in to see what is new in the store! Come get your soap on!!

Love, Carla

Great tips from Brittany!

Look at those leaves! 🌿✨

​Our Philodendron billietiae is showing off, and we can’t get enough of those long, strap-shaped leaves and bright orange petioles. If you’re looking to get the absolute biggest, happiest leaves out of your Billie, here are a few quick care tips from Two

Sprouts Plant Shop:

​✨ Give It Something to Climb: Billietiae are hemiepiphytes that love to climb. Giving them a sturdy wood plank or moss pole encourages larger, more mature leaf sizing and keeps those long petioles supported.

​☀️ Bright, Indirect Light: They thrive under bright light! The more bright, indirect light (or quality grow light) they get, the richer the orange color on those stems will be.

​🪴 Chunky, Well-Draining Soil: Keep their roots happy with an aroid mix that drains fast—think orchid bark, perlite, and charcoal mixed with coarse potting soil. Let the top few inches dry out between waterings.

​💬 How are your Billies doing right now? Drop a picture of your favorite leaf in the comments! 👇
