I really don't get why Alocasia Jacklyn is on the list tbh 😂 but to each their own. I've added a baby Jacklyn to my collection maybe 1-2 months ago. I really love it. The stems look very mushroom-y to me and the shape of the leaves is so unique. It opened its first true-to-form leaf about 2 weeks ago and it's currently unfurling the second, the ones it had when it arrived are still baby leaves. Is it a bit weird? Yea. Okay, a lot. The texture is really odd. But it's lovely in its own way. I have a few plants I got just because of how odd and out-of-this-world they are, and I know this one would fit, but no, I got the Jacklyn because I saw pictures and I fell in love ❤ EDIT: I sent this vid to a friend who is not into plants. For Mint Adansonii he said "it looks zombie" and I can't unsee it now 😂😂😂

The new leaves are still gorgeous, the growth pattern is very compact and over all the plant looks still amazing.

The weirdest-looking & also TEXTURALLY-odd (i.e., “nature doing the most”) plants, in my eyes, include the aforementioned ‘Black Cardinal’, because it’s no longer black! It’s not even pink either. It is that dishwater swirled effect. Looks a bit like it’s struggling to find the right lighting, feeding, and overall it appears as a “lost” plant. Like it would be at-risk of dying if I bought one. I also find anthuriums, especially velvet leaves ones, that are marbled to be scary looking at times. It just doesn’t work to me… as well as Alocasias ‘Frydek’, ‘Polly’, both just don’t work with that marbled variegation. Velvet marble is overkill I think. I’m not spending hundreds on something like that, as I see on Etsy! Also there are numerous cultivars available of _Colocasia esculenta_ (edible taro root) which also look rather bizarre variegated. As you said about Philo. ‘Paraíso Verde’ being flaccid, Taro plants are very loose and floppy, despite their massive size potential, and they blow around in the breeze a lot. They’re also soft, and soft leaves to me don’t work with variegation. It’s similar to the velvety thing. I do love the _Colocasia_ ‘Mojito’, on the other hand. Variegated Calla “lily” (aka _Zantedeschia_ I think) aren’t the most common things, but you’d expect them to be stunning… nope, they’re bizarre too. Lol. The commonly sold cultivars with spotted or “starry” leaves are nice, especially with darker purple or maroon flowers, but if the variegation is marbled… not so much. Good thing they’re an anomaly. I also find philodendrons ‘Caramel Marble’, ‘Jungle Boogie’, _P. billietiae_ and _atabapoense_ to be too much when variegated. But ironically I do like Alocasia ‘Jaclyn’, both in shape and color. _A. zebrina_ is cute, too. And there’s more! I personally find variegated fiddle leaf fig to be overkill. And variegated whale fin snake plant. A plant that’s already uniquely colored, has striping, edging, spots, and now variegated is too much… and too expensive. For what it is. Lol.

I noticed Kaylee say something really stupid in this video 19:00. This surprised me. She is usually much smarter than this. She said no plant can completely new, they are all "hundreds of years old". No Kaylee, some ciltivars can be literally less than a year old. They are the result of random gene mutations and such mutations are happening all the time and always will. Epipremnum aureum Gold must be the most common house plant in the world today, and the yellow variegation (and hardiness) that made it so common was unknown until 1960! And there are thousands of such examples. Species can be very old of course, but NOT all ciltivars.

I've had to chop off all the top twice because it was all white and sickly. I picked a plant (from the garden center) that was one Birkin and a pair of Congo Reds in the same pot. Reds are enormous and healthy and look so much better than the Birkin ever will.

I got the birken in 2020 I think and I think I spent mayyybbbeee $20. I wouldn't have spent much more than that. It's still thriving. The older leaves do fade a bit with the striping. I don't know. I wouldn't buy it again, but I don't hate it.

Would argue that the ugliest rare aroid is Syngonium Wendlindii Scramble egg, i hate it. Don't like Monstera Deliciosa Thai Constellation (don't hate it, but the Albo in my opinion, looks so much better).

I think Pink Rolli beats the Scrambled Eggs easily.

the strawberry shake is my number 1 on this list! I don't know why this plant is so popular! I hate the growth pattern and the coloring....everything about it. Yuck!

If you don't like the M. adasonii 'mint' then please never look at the M. adansonii 'Frozen Freckles'. It looks so unwell and deformed 🤮 Also I find Syngoniums quite ugly in generall. I know they have a lot of fans, but there is something about the way they look and grow like that I just can't get behind

I totally agree with you on the two alocasia. The zebrina is so cute. Also, are you planning on doing a rare plant index for Epipremnum?

Hoya undulata Red, maybe it’s too OBVIOUS lol it looks like a dead plant with ash sprinkled on it. I’d still add it to my collection because of just how unique it is. Also Hoya umbricata.

Idk if it's just me, but I wouldn't ever want to buy philodendron prince of orange. I just feel like everytime I'd see a yellow-orange leaf I'd be worried it's dying. Maybe if it were a very bright orange or deeper like a red based orange, but it just looks sickley to me.

I truly, honestly dont get why people like variegated plants so much. I would take a plain green version over the variegated version most of the time. BUT when I do like the variegated one more its always marbled variegation, I hate the blocky variegation especially the half moons

I know this will be an unpopular opinion but I really think the Monstera Thai Con and Philodendron Pink Princess are ugly, ugly, ugly. I really don't get the hype, the Thai Con looks to me as if birds have pooped on it.
