Damn, a lot of people here don't really like begonias. Personally, I love them! The weird funky colors, leaf shapes and textures are so beautiful.
I like quite a few. I hate that I kill them! I've got 1 thriving. If I win this one..I might try another. I think I struggle with the fuzzy leaf ones most.
I think a lot of people are misinformed about them. For a while, possibly my whole life until recently, I had always thought of Begonias as being those generic, nondescript, bedding or "cottage" garden flowers, the _Begonia semperflorens_ (aka wax begonias), but clearly there are far more fancier types than basic ones! 🤣 I always associated begonias with the basic types you see in public landscaping arrangements or front yard borders. But the majority of Rex, tuberous, cane, rhizomatous, etc. begonias are truly NOT cottage garden plants, you know, unless you have a cottage in like, Colombia, Florida, Hawaii or Ecuador or somewhere. Lol.
Kaylee : rare plant index
My bank account : please don’t
Lol!
😂😂😂 same 😩
Lol! Our tastes are so different. I never met a begonia I didn't like. They're the most incredible, colorful and beautiful plants and when you see them in person some of them are actually metallic. These plants are glittery!!! It amazes me every time I look at them.
Rare Plant Index Begonia or Kaylee not really enjoying Begonias for 28 minutes straight.
"i hate this, it's great though, i dont want this, it's awesome"
"Rare Plant Index #6 -Begonias-It's Not for Me"
I'm from Borneo, but I've never seen Begonia Metallic Blue before or anyone selling it before. 😅
Horrible video. She couldn't even fake it. That's sad.
@kat yamaji at least be happy that she's honest
Kaylee bullying begonias for 28 minutes straight
Maybe you should do a rare plant index for ferns
Edmund Yong yes to this!!!!!
I agree ferns are my favorite!
Yassss!! Great idea!!
Yes please!
That would be so good
LOL Kaylee is so bad at hiding her biases for plants
Very sorry to hear that you are not enjoying Begonias so much. Next to Aroids, Begonias are my 2nd favorite family of plants.
Why have they all thrown their leaves off-center? Nearly every other kind of plant goes for near-perfect bilateral symmetry. But Begonias have succeeded with "lopsided" in five continents! I find that skewed leaf plan appealing, and then they do many other fascinating things with that plan; curly-q's, wavy or jagged edges, hairy, waxy, and may I mention the colors?!!?
For me, I really love how begonias look but the growth pattern stresses me out. I want another begonia but I just don't want to deal with losing another one 😭
@@emilymarie9796 ... Please explain the "growth pattern" problem.
Most Begonias are far from finicky, so please consider trying again.
There's a Hardy Begonia, "Begonia grandis." It thrives outdoors in shady spots under trees where winters are not extreme. I've seen an eight-foot wide stand of it here in Kentucky.
For indoors, cane Begonias are pretty easy. I have a shiny silver "Looking Glass" Begonia that has survived occasional neglect and sprung back like a champ. Most canes are likewise durable.
It's the multi-colored Rexes that are challenging. Hold off on them until you're confident with canes.
My least faves😅 I was given one tho. i like it
Really like the term “Plant Gloths.”

Rapture Thank you!!
FINALLY!!🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ BEGONIA HEADS UNITE!!😍😍😍😍 All you people downing these beautiful babies.....we dont need ya anyhow😎😄 Yall are just mad cause you cant keep them alive!!😂🤣😂🤣😂🌿💯
GURL I watched your newest video and I loved it btw! I chuckled a lot 😁🤓
Kaylee Ellen Awww thanks so much!! Hope so much to meet you at the next IAS if you attend!! Ill be saving up till then🤣😂🤣😂🤣❤️❤️❤️💯
Awwh yes I will be there! I hope we meet ♥️♥️♥️
My elbows will probably continue to not bend 🤓🤓🤓 haha
Bahhhaa!! I was waiting to see your comment!! 😂😂😂 Does Casey have to go shopping again?
I’m really a fan of these specialized begonias that look alien and weird. I have breakdance and it’s stunning. First time i saw it was in the plant shop and I snagged it. Only time i’ve seen it
I am not a fan of Begonias in the slightest. The textures are not for me. But I do love your “rare plant index” videos so much, I had to watch.
Edit: enter the Metallic Blue. 😍😍😍😍😍
Same.
Honestly, Kaylee, I'm right there with you on begonias. I think they're neat and I understand why people like them, but they don't do much for me. I even have a shop near me that always seems to have crazy looking begonias and I'm never interested in picking them up. I have a common rex that was one of my very first plants, and a wightii, which I adore, and that's plenty of begonia for me.
I didn't like Begonia's before going to a club meeting and plant swap with them! A lot of them are more stunning in person. I do wish that Begonia's weren't sensitive to direct sunlight, the shimmer on them makes their leaves and flowers look like candy or jewels.
I'd love to see a Hoya rare plant index. There are SO many cool ones. Easy ones, common ones, and super rare and hard to grow ones. Fragrant vs unscented, fuzzy flowers, vs waxy flowers, fuzzy vs waxy leaves, etc.
One of the greatest collections of begonia I’ve ever seen is owned by Amazon (yes, the online shop taking over our lives) they have a gorgeous three story spherical greenhouse. They dozens of species of rare begonia. Plus philodendron, peperomia, and other tropical plants.
If you’re in Seattle on the first or third Saturday of the month get your tickets (it’s free and stunning)

Darn!
That was a real cool plant! Thanks for posting the pic! 😎👍
Wow
The more you talked about the weird carpet the more I remembered one from when I was little exactly how you described it. I don't even remember who had it but I remember it. It smelt of old dust.
Yesss!!!! 😂😂 Same here!!
I had a good chuckle about that one! She’s thinking of shag carpet, I’m sure. She was so spot on that it cracked me up!
Now I really want that begonia in remembrance of Kaylee, lol!
Personally, I’m crazy about begonias. I’ve just been collecting them for about a year but I already have about 22!
Oh no, Kaylee has a new rare plant index. I guess I'm about to go broke again.
I have recently been noticing pipers- would love a rare plant index on them!
Big agree!! They're so beautiful and I know Kaylee has mentioned getting into them!!
Are there any common or even uncommon pipers? Not in sale in Norway, that's for sure.
Funny enough, the way you feel about begonias is how I feel about philodendrons
Begonia it's not easy to grow, even I live in the tropical country. I'm glad most people not really like to have them so the price to buy won't skyrocket. Great vlog! ♥
I have recently had a breakthrough putting rex begonias under a grow light instead of by window and for some reason they are all flourishing and the most ideal colors. Killed all rex begonias before I tried this
I don't really like begonias tooo much, but I'm trying to open my heart to them because of their huge range in leaf designs. As someone whose partial towards tropicals and peperomias, begonias fall into this middle ground of "its OK...". They seem to have a dramatic streak to them - - something that also reminds me of ferns 😂
Kaylee and Covid lockdowns went hand in hand for me.
I think I figured out why I don't like Begonia's. So many of them remind of some bacteria or something like that I would see under a slide in my Biology class.
shelliemarie they look weird and alien
you don't know it...you love begonias
Hey Kaylee, just a note that the darthvaderiana is endangered in the wild due to human cultivation so maybe something to note before you post these types of videos!
Sadly there are quite a few houseplants in general that are endangered in the wild. I always want to tell people that because the more people want it the more its taken from the wild.
This is why responsible plant collectors should make every effort to only buy plants that are cultivated in captivity. There is a lot of plant poaching, please do your utmost not to support it.
@@kelzbelz313 Absolutely! Everyone should do their due diligence!
I had to step in here and throw my two cents in. I agree that some plants are endangered and this is most definitely an issue, however, Kaylee is in NO WAY encouraging people to go out and poach these plants, or to buy these plants even. She is simply telling people that these exist. It is a buyer's responsibility to decide to make the right decision on whether or not to purchase a plant such as these. Just saying . Let's be fair.
@@PlantsPotsWhatNots I think it's perfectly fair to think influencers like Kaylee has sway over what other plants people may want based on videos like her Rare Plant Indexes. This isn't an attack on her just something that I felt needed to be said so other people could see and educate themselves. Kaylee is free to post videos as she pleases.
Love the rare plant videos. Like you, I don’t really care for begonias...like learning about things so thank you.
Aw, I feel like you could have shown a greater variety of begonias. I really love begonias and it's incredible to me how different they can all be.
The Begonia baik looks like someone wearing an exotically coloured fox fur stole, quite stunning actually.
As a begonia lover i feel like you definitely covered it well i will say there are sooo many different types of begonias that it would probably be a very long video if you were to cover every type of begonia but there are definitely a lot with fun patterns but I'm sure begonia's are definitely a plant where you either love them or hate them or even have one but aren't sure about whether or not you really love it
So I guess im obsessed with Begonia now. PLEASE do ferns!!!!!!
Loved the video! I only own two Begonias... The Begonia Maculata Wightii and Begonia Red Kiss. The Red Kiss is by far one of my favorite plants! It’s absolutely STUNNING! It has a bright metallic red leaf with black centers and edges. New leaves emerge with a metallic pinkish green hew and mature to the amazing red color. It’s a Rex Begonia so it’s not difficult to grow in the home. If you’ve not seen one I highly recommend your look into one. I love mine! Don’t know that it’s a rare one though.
most begonias don't do much for me either, but some are pretty funky. glad this series is back ❤️
begonia are not my fav by a long shot as well, but looking at them irl its like you can see the individual cells. Each cell looks like its filled with water and this gives it an iridescent, glimmery kind of look, even the common begonia rex varieties. Also, sometimes, what in pictures looks like mint or white, looks a shiny silver irl.
Damn!!! I didn't realize how beautiful/crazy Begonias can look like.
Girl I love my begonias theyre just so striking but I get it, I'm not an alocasias girl. Awesome video as always!
very proud to know about the rare categories
Steve's Leaves has a lot of begonia types, a lot are out of stock but you can get on a waitlist
I LOVE the research you put into your videos and especially the rare plant index. It is one of the few youtubes I trust for quality information.
This came at the perfect time! 😍
Love your work Kaylee!
Literally jumping up and down over another rare plant index woohoo!!! Thanks Kaylee! I love these videos and have been meaning to bombard the comment section on the other videos asking for more. I love these rare plant index’s they are SO helpful! ❤️❤️❤️
The way you tell begonia from another plant from what I found out on the internet and watching UA-cam videos is it's the flower and that is definitely a Begonia flower
I love my begonia maculata, but that's more or less the only one I'd willing to buy
Mimi Mo same! I only like the maculata/batwing/snowdrop (was that the right name) kind of begonias. The other ones - nope, thanks!
I would love an index on peperomia 😍. Just started my collection and would love to know what else is out there.
Begonias are not for me either. Please do indexes on: Ferns, Cissus, Sansevieria, Hoyas, Syngoniums, Homalomena even pothos maybe?
omg yes on the hoya for sure!!!
Yassss!! Hoya!!!!
Kaylee please don't do Hoyas this year. I don't have the budget for it. I'll save up next year and the moment the list comes out I'll go get em before they run out! Lol!
The begonia baik reminds me of a chesnut "shell" i kinda like it
I've got the begonia Silver Jewel and the Maori Haze and I love them. The maori was the first plant I picked up when I was getting into plants. Its so pretty. And my silver jewel is big, fluffy and volumptious and I love it.
Love the black ones and the Thelma!
You could do peperomias, there's so many!
Yes! I second this. I find peps so interesting.
Pipers would be an amazing idea for another rare plant index!
Begonia rajah is endemic here. They love to grow near waterfalls on hilly forests. Begonia pavonina is endemic to the north of my country.
And so does begonia amphioxus.
Endemic to sabah borneo.
I remember entering a green house in Sabah full of them. O.O
Many begonias are native to Malaysia. I saw a flowering Begonia wrayi in the wild. The velvety leaves and cute little flowers were so gorgeous.
@@rottenrafflesia I saw begonia berylae in Kinabalu park.
Sabah is Begonia heaven. So far i saw 4 species.
I really appreciate this video! I am a big fan of begonias. What impresses me is that there are so many varieties and look so different from others. I also think they are a challenging species to keep and care for. At least with my limited experience. It just makes it so much more interesting for me.
C‘mon begonia baik looks awesome!
Not the biggest fan of Begonias but still loved the video!
Couldn’t stop staring at the beautiful Monstera sitting next to you 😍
inb4 all the begonia experts swoop in and nit-pick about hybrids and such ;) Honestly, I didn't expect you to do begonias anytime soon and I'm glad you did! Most of the begonias I see near me are rex-type and I'm just not into them, so it was cool to see other options if I wanted to dip my toes into begonia waters!
I think this index made me love begonias more.. they're so unique... I want the one that you have now 😂
Inlove your rare plant indexes. I was drooling for most of theses especially the Metalic Blue🤤🤤🤤. Thanks for sharing☺👍❤.
I have the cane begonia bug. They are sssooooo beautiful. Most of the rex ones also don't do much for me, but omg those cane begonia species and cultivars. Amazing.
Yay! Soooooo excited you did a video on begonias! It’s was so fun looking at them. I’ve got 4 on ur list! Lol! Slowing working on a couple more! What do you think about a list of Sonerilas, Labisias, or Ardisias? Rare terrarium plants would be really cool 😎
Thanks Kaylee! grabbed a couple cool begonias from watching this video
My bank account is soooooo not ready lol but I've missed this series!
Sansevierias, sansevierias and again sansevierias 🤩
It’s so visible that you don’t like begonias. This video would have more positive energy if you tried not to show the dislike. I treat begonias as a challenge , they aren’t easy to keep and that’s maybe why so many people here claim they’re not their thing. They are beautiful plants, the foliage is amazing and they have this exotic look that I admire.
Thank you for sharing this Kayllee Ellen thanks for the time and affort
I am not a Begonia girl either but I did find a few pretty ones on your list, we shall see what I decide to do if they ended up being sold on my local garden centers ^^ . I would to see some RPI about Hoyas, Aglaonemas, Homalomenas, Syngoniums and Jewel Orchids :)
I'd love to see pipers, maybe aglonema, syngonium!
I also love how you did this video even though the plants just weren't for you. I appreciate that. It's funny how we all jive with different plants. :)
Not a begonia fan, but am a Kaylee Ellen fan 🙂 Thanks for the new video!
You should do a rare plant index on black plants!
I didn't like Begonias until I found a Begonia Rex Ruby Slipper.. I swear it glitters!! Would love to see if you like it!!!!
I have black fang begonia, it does the same thing as pavonina with camera flash where the leaves turn blue/green!
I love the maculata, batwings, u-641, amphioxus and the pteridiformis so I will keep an eye out for which ever one i can find, thank you so much, I just love your program and the way you deliver
I just picked up what I believe is a tie die begonia and what caught my eye is the way the pink shimmers in the sun light
Awesome! I love begonias I think they’re beautiful, I am hesitant to get them because I don’t think I’m ready to commit to that kind of humidity! Though I do have a Rex which I regret getting but surprisingly seems to be happy as Larry(not sure why Larry’s so upbeat). I would love to see a Hoya index! My favourite genus of all!
I thought I hated Begonia until I started gazing upon a few compulse-buy, couldn't find anything great at the plant shop rex begonias which had started taking off in my house a mo th or so after I brought them home. Escargot was one of them, and some other spiral purple and silver variety, and I realized they are the most exciting and satisfying plant family to collect. You can alter their appearance to suit you depending on light and bri g out the most ideal colors and shapes, and the variety is endless. I thought I hated begonias until I had a bunch to sit and appreciate long enough. Now they are easily my favorite sort. Little Brother Montgomery is my PRIZED possession lol. Should have featured that for a palmate variety that looks like something out of an 80s glam metal band or something, or maybe a David Bowie video.
Found a begonia breakdance at a local nursery and had to snap it up. Mine doesn't have such long stems as the one in the picture. It's growing in the normal begonia bushy pattern. I absolutely love it.
I’m with you in begonia- I have one angel wing that for some reason is flourishing, go figure. I can appreciate their uniqueness but they generally look too ragged for me 🤣
I'm also more for ferns and pipers than begonias. And this confirmed it. But a video from you is always a highlight and I like the rare plant index format.
Im just now starting to like Begonias and its only Rex hybrids that i truly enjoy. Im just obsessed with the variety in colors that they are producing now a days and how the leaves are so different looking. Some have a swirled center, some don't. Some have crimped edging on all the leaves, Some don't The variety is endless and i feel like begnoia offer so many options for people. If you are into bonsai, there are about a couple hundred variety that have the potential to be turned into bonsai. If you love a color combo that doesn't have blue in it, i bet it exists currently in a rex begonia hybrid. Steve's Leaves is a great distributor and has TONS of videos covering all the plants they have to sell. Logee's is another favorite of mine for them.
If you love black and red, they have swirls, spots, and shard patterns. If you are a fan of silver foliage, there are probably a hundred variety of combos with silver included. I currently own a Rex "Jurassic Jr" "Arctic Twist" hybrid and a Rex "China Curl" on the way. The China curl has an almost burgundy and silvery pink swirl pattern plus it flowers unlike a lot of hybrids. Ive had the Jurassic twist for less than a month and its already produced so many new leaves, each one different from the last in its color way. I'm just obsessed with watching them come in and change colors every day as they get bigger
What a great start of weekend! To me the begonia baik looks like some sort of coral.
I have a brown/greenish fuzzy begonia that looks like the hallows eve! Very fun plants :)
Just the rare plant index I’ve been WAITING for YESSSSS
Added a few begonias to my wishlist, thanks! I’d love to see you do a Hoya rare plant index!
As a dark and purple leaf plant lover I like begonias cause there's a lot of colour varieties
Some stunning begonias are Cathedral, listata , Connie Boswell and Mister Hunt ;)
I love rare plant index! Can you do one on peperomias?
Rare plant index with pink and lilac plants 😍
I did notice you sounding a little under the weather, I hope you don't end up getting sick!
agree with ya on the begonia front by the way, they don't do too much for me
As a begoniac thought this index was well done...my collection differs quite a bit but have seen many of those you showcased...look forward to your next rare plant index...think euphorbias might be a good one😁😁🤗
I love your channel but was sad to hear the Pavonina hate! They are great little plants with a charm of their own when they aren’t dying. Glad begonias aren’t for you, hopefully it will keep them undervalued so I can buy more! Love love your videos especially the rare plant indexes! Keep up the wonderful work. Make up on point as usual 😊
I’m really picky about which Begonias, but some are really neat! I recently got the darthvaderiana and it actually loves my house ☺️
Unsure if anyone has mentioned it here, but in the state I live in (Victoria, Australia) we have a town that has a yearly begonia festival! Ballarat is a famous gold rush town here that is also pretty famous for it's begonia festival. You won't just see the ones with incredible leaves you'll also find the amazing glouring varieties too. If you ever come to Australia around that time it's worth checking out!
surefire way to break the bank: buy a plant every time kaylee ellen says "this one is quite nice, I like it actually - but it's not for me" 😅
Love your vidoes. Love to watch on my relax time. Thank you.😁👍
I’m obsessed with the darthvaderiana
Not a Begonia fan in general...they kinda freak me out, but watching anyway because I like plant knowledge in general and Kaylee in specific ;)
THANK YOU!!!! dear god please make a care video for begonias ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Brevirimosa is a vibrant metallic pink and though you don't like pink i think you'll like that one oh and Darthvaderiana gets very dark to almost black.
There should be a warning when you do these, making your audience buy so much more plants lol!! 😍😍😍
I have a room with low light so in order to add some contrast I added 3 Begonia's into my little world of plants. I collect cobalt blue pots for all my plants and their look compliments the blue. :)
How did your begonias do in that room?
YAAAAAY!!!! Love these videos, we appreciate your hard work 💕 would love to see Hoya next!
I did begonias in the 1980s when I had the ideal growing conditions for them. Now I love the dark/black begonias - not Goth more freedom/rebellion from conventional. Yes! We need a rare plant index for ferns. I have moved away from soft lacy ferns to ferns like the blue star fern, the crocodile fern (native to Australia!) and the crested birds nest fern.
