[@kelllipratt1283]

I truly believe this should be a every 3 or 6 month episode of Ben ordering and you judging lol very entertaining

[@Valkyrie0312]

100% agree. I fully intend to watch this video more than once. This is prime content 😄😂

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Agreed!!

[@orchids4256]

The Ben noises with the wildebeast is top tier editing, Kaylee🤣

[@jackietheroth]

This is top tier content. The banter and the captions made me LOL. And pretty plants? Also, your candid reaction to his choices are everything. I'd watch videos like this all day. You're funny as hell together

[@jackietheroth]

I am BEGGING for this to be a series

[@arches00]

I agree, this was so fun to watch

[@melonieeso9440]

Cissus hell no 😂 love this video! More please

[@alexclark64]

I mean this with all due respect (I know your names above the door 🚪) but we need more Ben on your channel. The vids with you two together are just the best! The pterodactyl is just beaut 😍 Adore your reactions 😂 Edit… I adore the variegated chestnut. That’s absolutely a 10. Who doesn’t love variegated nuts!!!!

[@CosmiqueRays]

Yes

[@meganb.8896]

Yes! Love the banter

[@Bob-jm6no]

Well, my ex has virtiligo, if you want to see some variegated nuts, he's single now.

[@vicky3792]

We are going to need an update video on all of these where you can either apologize or chastise Ben for them lol. That would be so fun!

[@sharondriver2445]

Cissus Yes! And bring Ben back!! We enjoy the banter between you two.

[@chomama1628]

I wouldn’t buy the cissus either. Looks like it has a fungus! Lol

[@tiffanyi5645]

The Ben content is golden!! You guys interacting is the best ever I love it!!

[@ashleedouglas878]

The look of disgust over the cissus was a highlight for me lol

[@EniEniEni]

The Aglaonema looks like a cartoon plant and I love it

[@ZoeAlecxis]

Would definitely buy one

[@notverynotoriousg5674]

I really don't like Aglaonema, but that one is spiffy.

[@maggi.]

Cissus: yes. More of Ben: yes. Merry Christmas guys, and thanks for all you do.

[@thelmaowens6063]

More Ben please! The chemistry the two of you have is fantastic! Btw... you are my FAVORITE! Your transparency is fantastic. Please continue to be unapologetically you because you are fabulous.

[@Plantasy98]

Cissus nah… I always enjoy the Ben content 😂😂 do some more cocktails with him 😂

[@fabianseq6164]

Omg yes, videos with Ben are so epic xD

[@joankennes3230]

Love the Cissus! Totally with Ben on this one. Really happy to see some Begonias as well. You definitely need to let Ben pick more often!

[@russellyoung1]

3:46 That plant is called Begonia Maurice in Australia and you can get it for under $40

[@heatherjensen3327]

If I was in a garden center and stumbled upon that variegated cissus I would jump for joy. Kaylee you are on something to not think that cissus is the best. I can imagine it vining around a nice tall vivarium looking awesome.

[@owenmcguire8139]

that cissus is awesome. you can’t be mad at him for picking that, yes it is in garden centers, but not variegated. you have tons of monstera variegated, and you can find just the regular monsteras in garden centers

[@instakillgaming]

"The only thing, mate, that shit should have slipped into is a compost bin" 😂😂😂😂 11:10

[@rjhemedes]

I have never seen nor heard of a Miconia before and its absolutely stunning even when its wilted from shipping. The variegated chestnut is absolutely gorgeous and would be a showstopper when planted outside and grows into full maturity. Cissus "Yes"

[@TruthInBeauty]

Agreed!

[@danispriggs7818]

I looked it up and it is listed as highly invasive, but its pretty

[@shannondunn6933]

Highly invasive where I am in Australia, its taken over so much rainforest

[@BoojiePanda]

My gummies just kicked in, this is hilarious rofl. I do like Cisus, but that one looks odd.

[@peitotz]

first plant is probably a variegated macrorrhiza black stem. plumbea's leaves look pillowy, curved on the edge. serendipity is the pink variegated version of plumbea for reference

[@CandymofoRockets]

Honestly the cissus I’ve never seen in a garden center but it’s prettier without variegation. Looks like sulfur treatment 😂

[@research5722]

Yeah. This is why it depends on the plant whether I like variegation. Doesn’t look attractive to me.

[@vanessalumbra9409]

Been so long since Ben's been in a video I thought he was totally out of the picture. Good to know the ol' fart is still around. You guys play well together. Love it.

[@jessicaurquhart1017]

I actually do like/want the cissus... although that one in particular needs some help to be it's best self, lol

[@fricane]

This might be my new favourite format on your channel! 🎉 also: ben‘s accent is 👌👌👌

[@debbiefox6846]

Kaylee I am sure you would want to know the miconia (Miconia calvescens) tree is one of the world's 100 most invasive species according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It is called the 'Green Cancer' due to the negative effects it has on the environment as well as its invasive characteristics: rapid growth, short generation time, its ability to both reproduce alone and vegetative propagation, and profuse production of seeds which are easily spread. It is the most invasive species and has annihilated 40-50 native species of plants completely in Tahiti & French Polynesia. It's gorgeous but I would mulch the damn thing! Loved the video. It was fun & I hope you do more like this with Ben. Some of the faces you made were so funny. Love your channel & I'm a long time viewer. 💚🌿🌱🍃🌵🍀

[@lauraheuseveldt]

The banter is just so great.

[@orchids4256]

Also, cissus = eh? I like Ben buying random stuff and you reacting. Really enjoyed this format and Happy Christmas!

[@brandykratz561]

I'm dying. "Show them the good bits".

More episodes like this! Its so hilarious seeing your interacrion about plants. 😂

[@valkatzenberg]

"Can you get me a.." "a bib?" DYINGGGGG 🤣🤣

[@maryantoinettebarachina6554]

I love the Aglaonema Siam Aura, var. Pterodactyl, var. Scindapsus, philo strawberry shake, variegated bananas and that wilted purple big leaves... I think cissus is ok especially it's a variegated version.😊❤️

[@thedivide3688]

Variegated Chestnut is super hardy...it'll do fine in the UK. We like Ben...more Ben!!!! More outdoor plants for sale will bring Ben to the front of the camera...LOL

[@silasd7348]

Thats so nice of him to get you those trees. They'll look great

[@lukaostojic1154]

The miconia calvescence is actually invasive in hawaii, but on the houseplant market they're just popping into popularity/acknowladgement. The leaves can reach up to 2 feet in lenght and in some cases ecen more. The tree can grow around 15 meters in height, and 1 plant can produce milions of seeds. Tho I think airlayering would be best for fast indoor propagation.

[@waznahnaan]

Thank you for this. I was immediately smitten by the appearance but didn't know it could be such a trouble; being amongst the 100 most invasive and called green cancer..? Gosh.. looks can be totally deceiving... I wouldn't want it in our rainforest

[@hoyaobsessed6576]

I'm in Seattle and I would worry about having it here too, last thing we need is for it to develop any sort of cold hardiness. I would love a big photo though, it's gorgeous!

[@lukaostojic1154]

@@hoyaobsessed6576 There are plenty of beutiful images online, and cold hardiness wouldn't be something to worry about indoors, but if, only if it gains cold hardiness outdoors, it could be the next opuntia 😅

[@juliusantivo271]

Fruit-bearing trees hold special place in my heart. As soon as Ben handed the Pterodactyl, I decided I will support his every choice in plants. Such an awesome vibe haul video!

[@hawkkai2903]

Lol. Ben’s adorable.

[@evlynealeshire5850]

Apparently Miconia calvescens is an invasive species. 😂😂😂 It is slated for eradication in the tropical pacific.

[@jaywright514]

No on the variegated Cissus, I agree the coloring doesn’t look the best. I grow the regular kind and love it. If you want a beautiful variegated Cissus, google the variegated quadrangularis, it's stunning. I do really like the variegated Amydrium and can't wait to see what it will grow into. I also have to say Miconia BAD! I know there is no way it’s going to survive outdoor in the UK but it is considered one of the worst invasive plants in the world. They have super shallow roots, spread incredibly fast, grow in clumps, and quickly shade out natives. On vacation I personally saw a small landslide caused buy a stand of them getting washed out.

[@abd19731000]

Cissus: Yes. And easy to propagate I expect. Never seen them variegated before, so good find.

[@onioncat.]

ur interaction and bens weird sounds w ur editing is j so fun n wholesome n entertaining to watch i love it

[@annabreumpedersen]

I just love the banter between you and ben, Ive missed this. Ive been laughing the whole video. Thank you

[@ronjakh]

That cissus is godawful! Variegation doesn’t work for all plants, it just makes some of them look genuinely unwell. Not a fan of Begonia but I will say, the darthvaderiana kind of gets me going😅

[@junaseras]

From the plants Ben choose i could just tell his background is in outdoor gardening 🤣

[@dwightphillips2556]

Cissus is very difficult to grow in my experience. The leaves have a tendency to curl and get ugly if it gets even slightly dry.

[@PlantSpam]

Same. Very pretty but I think they hate me.

[@hanyucastillejo8915]

The first one I think that's Alocasia Plumbea Var. How exciting is that, it's a beautiful plant.

[@kannikka]

Losing it with the chaotic energy in this one😂😂 Please have Ben in your videos more often!

[@DiusMannersLackFin]

Ben + Kaylee + Christmas coctails = video

[@tuulis6507]

Aww, love Ben 💖🥰 I wish Id have a friend like that.

[@bekkilow778]

That Scindapsus isn't a Kalimantan in my opinion it looks like Scindapsus Coriaceus more than any other Scindapsus I can think of.

[@JH-fc3fg]

I love it. I think next time you should do the shopping and Ben should present them.

[@spielliste]

Cissus no. Horrendous indeed. Combo w/ Ben? Made my day! Thank you both for this high quality content.🌴

[@agi_s_2344]

I missed Videos with Ben! ❤️ It's so nice to see the interaction between you two! 😅 It's always so much fun!

[@MichaelDeNicola]

Wow. The absolute chemistry between you two is incredible! You're a reaI comedic duo. I feel like I could watch you both all day.

[@bethanynapier9407]

Absolutely loved having Ben in the mix and hearing you guys banter back and forth!

[@hayleygarrison9222]

Like this style a lot

[@comediancircus]

Could the first plant be an alocasia macrorrhiza dark stem variegata maybe? I liked that plant the most out of all the ones shown!

[@mwilliamanderson]

Very entertaining! I like the cissus and loved the Siam Aura as well as many others. Good work Ben ; )

[@angieyaeger2]

I love all of your interactions with Ben. You two are hilarious! Give the people more! 🤣

[@vicky3792]

Cissus discolor is not in many garden centers here. But the normal ones propagate super easily.

[@mariaas9731]

Really? I killed two cuttings before I managed to propagate it. And my propagation rate in aroids is around 100% :)

[@vicky3792]

Sorry to hear that. I’ve found it super easy. Stuck in water, rooted planted. On my second batch, already rooted again. I live in Texas, maybe our heat and humidity is in my favor.

[@mariaas9731]

@@vicky3792 Most likely it's the humidity. Greetings from Poland coverd in snow. :)

[@Rayxster]

Ben is just pure chaos. I imagine working with him is never boring. Also yeaaahhh that Cissus is a hard no from me haha.

[@brianaalee1]

Definitely cissus no 😂 a nice fun video though really enjoyed the format!

[@Jakhuuzzi]

Cissus: hell no, Ben: YES!

[@justingrisham1436]

Definitely cissus no - I’m picky with variegation bc I think sometimes it can make the plant look diseased! 😅But this video was a major hit for me! Hilarious!!!

[@dorindastewart1375]

Cissus - no! Sorry Ben! I really enjoy the banter between the two of you. More videos with Ben. 👍

[@floridahiker1503]

I love the variegated loquat. I hope they offer them.

[@starblue3003]

It’s a F***ing chestnut! 🌰 😂💀😂💀 This was a wonderful video. I would love to see more of these videos. Thanks for the Christmas present 🎁! Also, that round begonia, we have them here in So. California. I will look for the name.

[@jacobpeterson1777]

“You’re showing them dead” HOWLING 😂😂

[@amalathisdreaming]

When you focus on the leaf pattern, this cissus looks lovely. From the distance however, it looks like if it is bathing in bird poop.

[@Kati-did]

Super fun watching you react to Ben. Love y'alls friendship!

[@candicekies]

PLEASE do more of these. Loved it

[@drgirlfriend211]

Oh man… I LOVEEEEE begonias!!!! Y’all should explore them and give them a chance!!!

[@sltal53]

Love hearing from Ben. He should tell us more about the outdoor potential of the plants you show

[@allonewordcaps]

More Ben mystery plants! Or any with you both together. Happy new year 🎉

[@janinedewolf7574]

Videos where is included are really so much fun to watch! I'm now only 3 minutes in and already laughing tears. The continuous completely honest conversation full of humour between you guys, that interaction, is absolutely the best! 😍🤣

[@gypsylee333]

I looove the aglaonema I've seen so many cool colors from like Indonesia etc but none of them are making it to the states :( I haven't been able to keep a begonia alive but I love their look. No on the cissus.

[@thatbatclover6978]

cissus yes! i think it has some real potential for nice variegation !

[@LarrissaAnderton]

I loved the outdoor trees. I have a variegated pink lemon tree that I'm a little in love with at the moment, google it 🙂

[@roxanedawn3752]

Baaaahaaaaa!!!! I want to watch this again and again! Ooooh this is the best weird stuff ever!! Kaylee and Ben are the best comedic dup! Can I save this?

[@WinkingWhiskers]

"it's a fuukin chestnut tree" the accent made it 10 times better 😂

[@flipchart90]

This format should become a standard on your channel. I was laughing so much. 😂

[@tiffanyi5645]

I adore that last tree!! It’s gonna be stunning wow 💚💚

[@ThePlantUtopia]

Cissus are really beautiful when you have a full plant. And they propagate easily.

[@curryisgood6103]

this is how I look when somebody buys or gives me a begonia haha love it

[@cmk5302]

I love that it's like a non-plant person buying random plants for a plant person who has it all already lol

[@heatherdavis1771]

Ben isn't a non-plant person. She even mentions that in this video. She says he's more of an outdoor plant person. Pretty sure he's owned his own plant shop before if I'm not mistaken 🤔

[@ashleypendyk9009]

Cissus YES LOVED this episode. You should let Ben do the ordering more often. Love your reactions. NEED to see an update on some of these plants. I'm really curious to see how some acclimate Ben... Don't be so camera shy. You two are a great duo ❤️

[@bradmiller6621]

More videos with you and Ben! Also, I love Cissus discolor, but I about threw up when I saw that thing. So bad. Can't win em all I guess...

[@Lea31706]

Love your and bens friendship x

[@Petra-ms3ku]

I wasn’t a fan of begonias either, then the couple that slipped in got big. Now begonias are taking over. They’re just so crazy diverse. They’re survivors too. Im shocked they’re not more expensive.

[@vercsan6513]

This should seriously be an ongoing series. I loved every second of it! Your banter with Ben is gold. Laughed so hard and got to see some awesome plants, what more would one want? 😂 BTW, the Cissus is fine. I agree on the begonias though, they’re quite meh.

[@sal9842]

Ben is very very entertaining. I can’t stop laughing. He seems to be trying so hard but then realizes maybe that is a shit plant but I like this this is so funny this is like the best video ever. Thanks BEN you’re awesome man.

[@formealyour]

"It's a focken chestnout" 😭😭😭

[@patriciagrant4913]

I really liked this with Ben. I loved the Variegated Musa, Pterodactyl, Scindapsis and the Agleonema Siam. Very nice haul. I love the banter between you and Ben.

[@marushaxx3074]

love the dynamic between you and ben, if he agrees to be on (or behind) camera more - yes please!

[@LaniLeDesigns]

🤣I loved this video! So fun!

[@oldcrowhollow]

You need Merch- "It's Varigated, It's Special" LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[@Ben-ky9yq]

I want royalties. 🤩

[@Paula-sw2tt]

I love begonia, but I have had zero luck growing them, sigh. I grew up in San Diego, CA, USA and my late father had an incredible green thumb. He had a massive one of those trees n the back yard. I liked the fruit. My favorite were those last banana trees. Lots of people do like cisis (sp?). So that's a yes from me. Definitely more Ben!

[@lisathomas5482]

Yes to you and Ben. And I have to say…I’d buy the cissus!!!

[@madeleine5803]

Oh my gosh Ben is adorable.

[@spankses]

omg please do more videos like this! so much fun to watch!

And i would definitely buy one of those strawberry shakes!
