please never stop making these videos they add a spark to my day

[@anthonymciver9541]

Am I the only one that had absolutely no clue that Benji was a ballet dancer

[@benjiplant]

Idk if I would call myself a ballet dancer anymore. I did it from like age 5-13 and I can barely do a pirouette now lol

[@rhodealexandre6583]

@@benjiplant 8 years of ballet qualify you as a ballet dancer in my book🙂

[@itskarmabxtch]

@@benjiplant huh, those are the same exact years I did ballet. I think once a dancer always a dancer.

[@gordonissocoollike]

Billy Elliot. Is a great movie if you’ve not seen it.

[@jung.forever.]

He’s a ballet dancer??! 😲

[@ceruleangolem4936]

You have such great taste. And the best part is that it comes out of knowing what you like and modeling your space after yourselves. Congratulations on your new kitchen, it looks wonderful!

[@Sarah-zk4je]

For 15 years now, I've just grown microgreens in mason jars like my hippie mom before me, I have 1 to 3 jars going a week and they take up so little space! Rinse with water once a day and leave them to drain behind my kitchen window herbs. Love watching the evolution of your space as you live in it and see what works!

[@chimpsimp9879]

my mom does the same, :) she has a lid that drains and she just leaves them upside down in a bowl of water

[@jenw5854]

And the exhaust fan will now forever be known as a stove roof. You’re adorable!

[@Lex_Marion]

Replacing your blinds with some other ones, like maybe bamboo or cotton shades, would go a really long way for 'warming' up the space and making it look less sterile! Plus it would also help with the heat while still letting light in :) your place is looking great

[@shivangisingh7632]

If the growlight shining through ever bugs you, you could definitely layer the fabric! that way the dark fabric could black out the light nicely and you could use a lighter fabric on the outside

[@lorraineyanez4301]

I saw the notification....but it's Saturday. 😳 I will re-watch it tomorrow for my Sunday vibes. I m not kidding my daughter received her micro green box yesterday. I wish her luck because she isn't consistent 😕

[@benjiplant]

I finished the video early and accidentally scheduled it for Saturday instead of Sunday. Oh well though lol here’s an early video for you guys

[@lorraineyanez4301]

@@benjiplant anyday is a good benji content day I will always gladly watch. Just pulling your leg. Hi Theo 🥰

[@fairy.melo2]

I love the amount of plants!!! It adds so much life to the space, like a little indoor jungle, so cute

[@lucasbrady4639]

I love every new video that shows the Passiflora in the kitchen. It has grown out so much from when it first got placed there. My Passiflora vine came a few weeks ago, and I thought it would die. I watered it for a few days, though, and it got super healthy again. I took cuttings only a few days after shipment, and the mother plant already has a ton of new growth and the propagations are doing amazing!

[@sugugggg]

I think my fav Part are all of these clever placement of Kitchen Stuff. Like the hanging the Soup spoon right above the pot? The dish rack water flowing into the sink? Beside the amazing taste of decorating those little things made me so happy agdhdjdkf.

[@stillafreak6746]

I could listen to you saying dumbest things your voice is just so soothing

[@you_gullible_fucc]

even though there was no practical purpose for it, I really loved how hanging the wind chimes on the pot hooks made the kitchen feel more cozy and homey, reminds me of my nan's home where she'd have a bunch of little chimes and trinkets strewn around the house

[@TinyWorldLaboratory]

The magnetic hooks are one of those genius ideas that's so simple someone like me can't believe I never thought of it. Thanks!

[@marcy3959]

I had the worst day at work today and your videos always make me feel so much better! Thank you so much for being a calming and kind presence!

[@esmeraldasanchez355]

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you, well deserved

[@ivydleonslvador0937]

THis is my first time watching a guy decorating his own pad and love plants. Nice❤👍love it👌

[@gaturrocam]

Hi benji!! After about 7 months, my dead sphagnum moss finally started having baby sprouts!! It's from a chilean brand so I didn't know if it was going to work haha. I'm super excited so thank you, your method worked!

[@cyclenora]

Exhaustion fan and stove roof are both excellent 😆

[@JaynaEM]

I'm in LOVE with that pendant light!

[@user-mm2fc1lk1n]

Вы удивительно позитивны и креативны! Наслаждаюсь вашими растениями,за которыми вы ухаживаете с такой любовью! Не знаю,что является источником дохода для вас,думаю,многие люди с удовольствием покупали бы растения,композиции,аквариумы, созданные вами,в них много любви! Успехов вам, вдохновения, развития каналу.❤

[@hcarlt]

you could easily swap the handles on the kitchencabinets for wooden ones and store them to put back on once u move out! such an easy and beautiful fix :)

[@plantwithroos]

I read somewhere that dogs struggle with seeing the depth of wooden flooring and that's why they don't like it or are scared of it. Theo loves the rugs! So cute

[@TAdams-hx9lk]

No traction for paws.

[@vetaufaustinaroga5899]

omg I love your shirt! I am from PNG ♥ big indoor plant fan and I enjoy watching your channel.

[@Darenim]

I love how you used the magnet hooks in several different ways. Handy things!

[@virtualhawaii6987]

I'm probably older than your parents but I'm learning a lot from your videos. I'm binge watching your videos 👀 😌 Thank you, Benji💚💚💚

[@noura.sm.qahtani5541]

Yr voice it's real meaning of comfort🥺

[@heathervandewalle8954]

I follow you and I just sent my granddaughter a link and said she should subscribe. I think she will really enjoy watching your channel.

[@willdance4youtoo]

YES BALLET!!!!!!

[@pixieofjoy]

Your home looks so warm and inviting! I'm loving this apartment makeover series!!

[@shinyurishin]

i love this series :') assembling a collage on the fridge is such a great idea!

[@emmamendes5241]

Such a cozy and sweet video! So thankful to have found your channel recently. All the relaxing vibes. Definitely feeling inspired to keep cozying up my house now!

[@truthbetold2611]

***Benji, make it a movement to help your viewers grow edibles indoors--since your theme is houseplants ...It could be anything good as food. Mushroom, leafy greens (my friends regrow sweet potato leaves and water spinach from Asian stores) etc. That would be so fun to explore with your beautiful set-up designs! Thank you for sharing your talents with the world : )

[@LisaMarieKaspar]

Oooh yes I would love to see a video about Benji growing mushrooms at home with these kits you can buy!

[@cheekynandosss581]

These are such sweet changes that really make your apartment so homey! I love the photos of your parents 😭 so sweet

[@karenb136]

It looks really nice. I love the new kitchen lights. Theo loves the new rug. ❤️

[@catfridge]

These vidoes add so much cozyness to my days

[@Simphome]

always know how to store plants neatly and beautifully. love it.

[@mosslou9854]

the kitchen turned out so beautiful!! 😻💫🌿 i love how the lamp and passiflora frame the window! makes it look like you put up a huge artwork over your sink ^^ thanks for sharing so much if the process! feels like a short vacation every time i get to watch oneof your videos 😊🎶

[@thesecondtonone3010]

The book shelves are super nice. Love the wood finish.

[@StudyOwll]

Benji is the only KZbinr i have my notifications turned on for! I really look forward to his videos and get excited on the weekend because that means Benji will upload soon!

Wow you did ballet! Super cool, you must have a super strong core! Love the kitchen, looks great. Love the pop of color from the mat!

[@johncedarleaf224]

Loved this video! You’ve done such a good job.

[@jkp775]

Benji, can you please talk about how you pin your trailing plants up with string? I love how you make it look so natural and grown in. I’ve had bad luck with most methods of pinning and I love the way yours looks❤️

[@user-hd8ei1xp5w]

Thanks for your new video! You give me good ideas for my home plants

[@Echo_blu]

Your apartment looks really homey and comfortable. Great job! I love microgreens, and that is a really nice set up.

[@ryanchen4112]

I love the night ambiance of your kitchen, reminds me of 'Midnight Diner'

[@oldgardengal777]

I love your decorating 👍😊. It looks great. I also love the staghorn fern wall 💕💕💕

[@greenteavic]

Your video is always so soothing. Thanks ❤

[@fabulousalenore56]

All your plants and decor are so nice! :)

[@juanitagordon5064]

Love your kitchen in fact I love the whole apartment. Make sure that your magnets doesn’t damage your refrigerator, The reason why I say that is because I experienced that and put something under you are vegetable pots in your cabinet to protect the cabinet from spillage and scratches. Great job.

[@BLANKU2]

I'm cheering for you lil baby Staghorn you gotta represent! The velcro towel in the kitchen you could easily change it out per season to change up your look you could even do a pop of orange there for a color block look. You could take any color in the ktchen run to match it up with the cabinet towel.

[@tessgella]

Your kitchen is so pretty and ideal.

[@partypartyyeahhh-sr1gy]

i watch your videos to improve my english so thank u so much!!

[@SlurpieDoo]

your passiflora just make me so happy♡

[@joanlavaki]

Loveee the shirt! I was born in Papua New Guinea!

[@beingnice2152]

love you benji take care always..i love also your plants❤️

[@Meelameels]

You could do peel and stick wallpaper for the cabinets if you want to. They make plain solid color wallpaper so you don’t have to paint

[@sofisanders5500]

Please don't stop talking about your passiflora! I can't wait for mine to grow as big as yours! (bought mine from you)💓💓💓

[@lauravelazquezlopez-ibor6466]

Loved it!!!!! You two have great taste. Hi, from Spain!😍

[@rozelynjenkins1811]

The same happened to my avocado plant and I cut the top with dead leaves off. The stalk got stronger and sprouted more growth points. Granted, I was trying graft 2 stalks together, but still. Also, if you use a little green dust ( you're from UCSC) in the dirt, it won't go through as much shock. :)

[@noelrittmann9222]

you really are my comfort channel 🌱

Wow, Im in love

[@sharonpuddick7378]

your very relaxing and i don't know why

[@christmouw]

Having Dejavu moment. The kitchen looks a lot like Connor Franta’s

[@katherinespencer2073]

When people could not afford plywood & hinges for cupboard doors they strung a thin curtain rod & hemmed long fabric so that they could gather it onto kitchen cupboards or close doorways. The fabric allowed more air movement which was important before central heating so that stored things did not mold due to long periods of cold-dampness. Also a good way to make things look personalized for cheap.

[@morethanlife5385]

Que bonito, algún día me gustaría tener un lugar así, hogareño y con personalidad 🤞🏼

[@fiona6848]

so calm and nice

[@nathalie9905]

I love what you did to the kitchen! The passiflora vine looks so good :) I want a passiflora vine so much but I can't find them in my country. I did try germinating them from seeds but that wasn't a succes :/

[@tylaamaee1223]

This is such a interesting video 😮

[@CsrDvl]

Lovely

[@mohamed_amine_errami]

@benjiplant : Hello guys me : 80% stress free

[@drmdrm3703]

i think you should switch your tv and mirror, turn the couch 180 degree and put it in the middle of the room, leaving the space between your couch and your mirror as a walk way. Would also look nice and functional

[@Kim-tk9sb]

How often do you water your staghorn ferns, and how often do you feed them in the winter/ grow light time? Love your staghorn fern wall.

[@lefthandead3453]

Hey Benji! You can try changing some hardware handles on the cabinets for a more personal touch if you wanted

[@rebeccavalicoff1581]

I was thinking your walls would look good painted a soft orange or peachy color. also tension curtain rod inside cabinets would allow you to hang some curtains for the microgreens area

[@sunjoy6858]

Nice! So calming voice. How do you make that plants on the wall? What is the base/fondation? Its super interesting

[@rikkeluveplants4530]

PH lamp Poul Henningsen they have a print hitten, but some people like to disassemble and paint them 👍

[@Yan-zm4up]

I love the draining dish rack! I've been trying forever to find a metal one that drains and haven't been able to! Where is yours from?

[@yongyigibbob]

The decorations on the walls, bats, etc I want to learn how to do it

[@cathywalker4015]

Great video, as always! Where did you get your sloping dish rack from? Such a good idea.

[@k.s5889]

Love love everything better than a 5 star hotel.

[@jules6335]

love the magnetic spoon holder idea! The fan is called an 'exhaust hood' or just a 'kitchen hood' But I would definitely not keep the spoons above the pot while cooking, the rising steam will heat up the handle and burn your hand :( Maybe during serving would be okay though!

[@plantsandpiggies7758]

Hi Benji. Can you tell Chris I love Susanna Clarke too and I hope he’s read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel! Thanks and love your videos!

[@rGarata]

Yay the kitchen

[@OrendaDesignStudio]

Amazing 🥰🥰🥰.
