Honestly you are not the only one😅, I'm like 16 and I have 8 of them and everytime I go to the store I move on to the plant section. I always look up to watching your videos and I've enjoyed all of them.

[@arjay6506]

Same here I just turned 19 so I’m not in the scope of teenager anymore hehe I had 15 plants mostly gling plants

[@jackwinter1385]

Your are not only a teenager, you are a beautiful being loving plants

[@whitleywilburn2999]

Benji you are literally GLOWING in this video. it’s so adorable and inspiring to see you in your element showing exactly what you’re capable of! Your arrangements and art looked beautiful. I’m so happy to see you showcasing your creativity🌺🍀

[@leofaleiross]

My sunday mornings become so magical when I receive their notifications ❤

[@msmellowmood84]

I put these on repeat and just listen to these throughout my day to keep my mind peaceful. Lol. I’m 38 years old today and find your content so helpful and soothing. For my birthday I have decided to start my first aquarium, and thanks to you, I have so much more confidence. You probably won’t see this, but thank you. I couldn’t quite understand how to connect to myself in quiet moments before and your vlogs and videos are so helpful.

[@hannahg8666]

This workshop is inspiring me 5000 miles away. Imagine being there...😲✨

[@lucasbrady4639]

I just bought a Passiflora Colinvauxii vine from your website, and I'm so excited to get it! I'm a little worried that it might be too cold for it to survive (It just snowed where I live), but I think it'll be okay. I can't wait to have it growing throughout my other plants! Love your videos too, and I'm really happy to see that you got commissioned to make art with plants, you're so good at making plants look good, so I'm not surprised that you were able to do a plant installation. Love the content, keep up the hard work :)

[@lucasbrady4639]

P.S. I love the photos you took of everything, it all looks so beautiful. I can see how you have gotten better at photography over time, you could take a photo of a single leaf and somehow make it look good!

[@fattimaali3158]

@@lucasbrady4639 Hey! I was planning to buy the Passiflora vine from his website too, but I can't seem to find it. is it sold out? Do you know if he restocks?

[@lucasbrady4639]

@@fattimaali3158 I think he restocks every Saturday at 10AM PST. That's what his website said when I went to buy it. It sold out pretty fast, so I bought mine at 10:06AM lol. Hope that helps :)

[@TheRonikim]

I received my colinvauxii from Benji a couple weeks ago and I really recommend increasing humidity to help your plant recover post-shipment

[@mscalucas]

I also purchased Benji's passiflora plant and wow is it easy to take care of and a fast grower. Such as special plant.

[@authenticplantress470]

Jiahao is soo cool and has soo much personality 😍 and his plant collection is so beautiful. Defs jungle vibes ❤️ loved this video and definitely a BIG THANK YOU to Chris ✨️

[@jennifersutton3115]

Benji is very impressive 👍 He's an inspiration.

[@aliviawilson9629]

just imagine being in a workshop with benji and jiahao, literally luckiest 15 people ever 😭😭 i love you guys sm

[@julierosemodelproductions]

ah, to be in a workshop with benji and jiahao

[@Hadinata1994]

Why this channel so addictive? Not always because of the plants but the way benji’s talk very calm Lol and the “camera-guy” knows where the best place to shot. One more it’s good to have theme! 🪴

[@jujuuu1]

WOW you are so talented!! And thank you to Chris for always filming

[@adelinegaglio]

I've discovered your channel few weeks ago and I'm absolutely in love with your content. Everything feels so peaceful, whenever I'm having a bad day I just play one of your video and it is making everything a little bit acceptable. Thank you so much for your work Benji!

[@gailbinot839]

Could you guys do a workshop in Philadelphia? It would be great! Perhaps the Philadelphia flower show in the Spring?? Love this!

[@kaileisoraya]

would LOVE to see benji in philly!!!

[@danispriggs7818]

That would be amazing!!

[@iolaani]

You know it’s a good channel when a twenty minute video makes your whole day. 😊

[@RobertDownedU_Jr]

I am so jealous of the plant variations you have in the stores you showed. So many cool plants

[@tominutiae]

this is amazing, benji! like how you didn’t have words for jiahao’s living sculptures, I don’t know the words to describe how much I enjoy your guys’ expertise and eye for species and spaces. can’t get enough of your work!

[@ankitsinha6445]

Hii Benji!! I am from India🇮🇳🇮🇳...I always recieve your video at sunday's evening and my sunday end with your video...Keep sharing video...🙂😇

[@yarkoyanna2616]

Benji, thank you so much for the video, job you've done. It is so full of gratitude and thankfullness and relaxing meditation that you and your partners bring into it. I will rewatch this video of yours, because it makes me feel home, I want to do the same stuff here in Russia, Samara, where I am yet. Please go on making this type of videos they are so great!!! 🪴🌾🎍🍀☘️🌱🌴🌳🌲🌵🎋🍃🌷💐🌞✨🌈

[@karenb136]

Very nice. My favorite was the arrangement you made with the pink flowers and the twisty branch. Just beautiful! You guys are so talented. Thanks for bringing us along. 💚🌿🪴🌱💚

[@katieholsinger645]

That’s fantastic! It looks like a lot of hard work and creativity! I’m so glad you had fun and such support through family, partnership, and fans, and you deserve all the joy of being recognized as a talented person.

[@chimcharly]

i’ve always come out of watching your videos feeling super warm and fuzzy, but something about this video also made me emotional. you guys did an incredible job with the installation and workshop, it moves me to tears. I can see how much thought and care was put into the process and I appreciate it so much even if it’s only through this video I’m seeing it. I really love the passion and the welcoming space you share with us, it is always very comforting. I wish you the best always! love from san jose, ca!

[@Dzindzyo]

I feel such sweet and nice vibes from all of your videos! And I'm not surprised that somebody wanted to be on your pop-up as a birthday gift! I think it would be very inspiring and cute to meet you in person 🌷🌱🌿🪴🤗

[@mosslou9854]

as a fellow art and plant person your videos always fuel my creativity! i have a couple new plant projects lined up for spring and im so excited!! also love the inclusion of whomesome family/friend/partner/theo moments! theres so much love out there 🌿♥️ even knowing that feels so healing 🌟😊💫

[@JaxNoodle]

Thank you Chris for making time to record the Pop Up Ceramic event! JiaHao and Benji’s pieces are all amazing! May other plant shops/organizations see this and fly you guys outside L.A. so that others can enjoy your displays in person. The Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio holds an amazing Ikebana event. I was able to see it one time when visiting friends couple years ago. They should host you guys for that. I should send them a link to this video.

[@mscalucas]

Wonderful video and what a perfect pairing of Carries ceramics, your and JiaHao's organic aesthetic and meditation. So lovely to have the support of Chris and your amazing parents. Kiss to Theo.

[@maja8946]

this video was so calming yet interesting. i love your aesthetic benji and i really enjoy just listening to you talk. also you and chris are 100% couple goals love your energy💫

[@andreadybvik]

So much fun to watch! Got really inspired! 🪴

[@crazyaashima]

I genuinely like watching your videos Benji. I like how you are so calm and share such a good relationship with your family and Chris. Specially loved the pink arrangement you created. Definitely inspired be to learn more about Ikebana!

[@kathybrintlinger9993]

You are so talented! I believe you will go far with your art!😊🌱

[@ashleygroen5839]

Great video as always Benji💚 thank you Chris for filming!

[@simranbal228]

Hi Benji! Would you mind making a video about basic plant care for beginners and plants you recommended in general for beginners? It would mean a lot. ☺️ x

[@angelicathefoodie]

Benji uploading a new video always brightens my day 🥹 Amazing video as always!

[@emmanuelangelo7363]

It's amazing how you guys were able to work on this within a week! Absolutely love the installations especially Jiahao's and your hanging one- the way he said "they're talking to each other". Just shows your chemistry as a team and how your works translate in a space. Congratulations and good luck to you guys!

[@gordonissocoollike]

Thanks for a brilliant experience and thanks to every one involved

[@e75short14]

By watching your videos, I am naively thinking how the world would look like if people around the world prioritize creative planting and designing their ecosystem. Please continue your amazing work and inspire more people around the world.

[@yespileas]

Congrats on the exhibition and workshop! If you filmed when you split out the Dracaena Reflexa to separate pots that would be really cool to see for another video! Thanks 😊

[@hollypuckett3931]

You are such a beautiful human 💛

[@rhodealexandre6583]

Hello Benji Chris and J. This was beautiful. Looking at your creations Benji bring me some peace. Nothing more to say. This video deserves multiple thumbs up in my opinion. Keep up the good work

[@SplashOfGreen]

What an awesome experience! I’d love to do something like this. I just made a fall arrangement with dried native grasses/flowers/weeds. Definitely going to try these arrangements!

[@HazyC1231]

Loved your first arrangement, love your videos, such talent. Thanks for sharing

All of you are super creative!

[@DontMindRyan]

This is so super awesome Benji! I live in a small town in NC but I've convinced a couple shop owners to let me put a display in but nothing like what you are doing. Thank you for the constant inspiration.

[@HelloEla1]

So happy for you benji this is so exciting congratulations!! You are the reason why my love of plants started thank you so much for all your content 💜

[@syouta1276]

Thank you for sharing such an a amazing process and journey and congrats on your first plant installation and workshop Benji! I might be really new to plants and get worried at times that I am not ready to bring a plant into my life because of my lack of knowledge but watching your experiences really help me get through that fear.

[@zarebonds6085]

would love more content like this! you all did so well

[@rubengutierrezmolina99]

What a masterpiece. You guys are such an inspiration. I wish i had friends like you ❤

[@PeacefulForaging]

I love your workshopped. If I live there I would of went and joined the activities. I’m in North Florida.

[@NedDanielss]

Sooooo many beautiful installations!! There is something so special about the temporal nature of organic art & a tailored composition of natural formmmmm Hope to see more of this in the future, would have loved to attend in person

[@chantalvillemure2595]

Such creativity ! Wonderful !

[@inktex1265]

What a fabulous life! Congratulations, Benji!

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

That’s a great experience for you,it looked great!👍 💚🌱☘️🌵

[@Hannah-sl6un]

booked and busy! you guys slayed this project!!!

[@fieldpoppies]

Love this video Benji but FYI in case you guys do these workshops again in future, those floral foam blocks are awful for the environment and the other option is to use chicken wire as a more sustainable option 😊

[@benjiplant]

We had no idea! I was starting to think that as they kind of crumbled in my hands. Will not be purchasing these again

[@cecillebalean3035]

❤❤❤ thanks for sharing... Loving the ikebana arrangement... as well as your way of designing a simple plant to make it interesting... you both are so talented... sending love from downunder!!!😊

[@42apprentice]

Lovely vlog and work, what a great way to challenge yourself in new direction

[@42apprentice]

PS floral foam is bad for creating micro plastics and it never biodegrades even if producers tell you so. Chicken wire, or flower frogs (eBay) or twigs are kinder to the environment.

[@Amy-bb7lb]

Awesome video. Enjoyed watching you and your friend’s great creative talents. What a great event you guys put together . I have always admired creative people because I have no creative talents and I always look and learn from creative people. Thanks, Amy

[@yourpalsal42]

Love this Benji! Would you ever give plant interior advice to people? My office from my work could use your eye 👀 ❤️

[@ninajazzy1840]

All the best, Benji, you are so great!

[@yarraville27]

Beautiful video. The event looked like a feast for the senses.

[@Boogeyrae]

I would die to see all those platyceriums in real life. I’m a houseplant specialist at a greenhouse and we only get in bifurcatums/ Netherlands and they are beautiful and so stunning and I love mounting them but I need more types!!!!! Absolutely beautiful work. This was very inspiring to me in my field!!!

[@mossbased]

I love design with plants I create all the terrariums and kokedamas my work sells but what you did with the anthurium and orchids is so inspiring to me wow

[@fyreboi83]

Aww🤦🏽... I wish I would have known, since this place is just barely a mile from my place. Oh well! 🤷🏽 I'm glad it was a successful event!
