Hi Benji! Do you have a video of your worm bin and how you use it? If not can you post a link to where you got it, thanks😊

[@vintageelements710]

Benji you are my Bob Ross of plants right now. Thank you for amazing videos.

[@ChristinaLee727]

I pretty much feel the same way lol. I love your comparison to Bob Ross! 😁 “happy little trees” - Bob Ross 🌲

[@belindarosenheim2322]

Exactly!! And the carmel voice too.

[@DoMoNose]

I’ve never read a more accurate comment lol

[@UmiAnanda]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@valentinoquartz1647]

Can't be more true... It helps me go to sleep.

[@apple.cheeks]

I was planning on repotting a lot of my plants, this made it seem more fun and less intimidating! I admire how much you know about plants. It makes me want to me a better plant mom :')

[@tyblips]

I'm doing the same. I recently caved and cut back my devils ivy because it was kinda sad and scraggly looking and I'm gonna repot in a few smaller pots instead

[@bdbdbduong]

I literally just watched your recent video yesterday and now I'm watching Benji's and when I saw your comment I felt like my two worlds collided and I love that 🥲❤️🍎 🌱

[@maddie.swift13]

I repotted a few plants yesterday but I made a mistake with one of them and now it has these weird brown spots… I’m guessing root rot 😢

[@Munchkin2000]

Such a polite and affable young man. You're a pleasure to listen to. Your partner is very lucky

[@jemiplants7344]

30 minutes of benji doing plant dad chores?? Blessed✨

[@juliagray125]

As a graphic designer and plant parent, I just want to say your design aesthetic comes across soo nicely. Your typography choices and photography are truly top tier. Like part of the thumbnail caption being tucked behind your shoulder that creates a subtle foreground/background. The aesthetic is just *chefs kiss*🤌🏼

[@tyoonie.b]

OMG!! i’m a graphic designer and plant dad and his brand identity is so beautiful

[@Unpotted]

I’ve been reviving dried sphagnum moss for 25 years. It isn’t difficult given the right conditions. 😊 I’m sure you have a lot of comments on this topic already, but I don’t have time to read them. I really enjoy your videos. They remind me of my early experiences and experiments with plant care. I was very curious and creative just like you, and had a good time playing around with various growing options. Keep up your endeavors and enjoy them. Thank you for sharing your work. 😸✌️

[@cce8891]

how often do i have to water live sphagum moss?

[@congma6950]

I've revived dried sphagnum moss that I bought at home depot after watching that video. It worked for me, so I guess probably need to try more to find the right conditions. I put the dried sphagnum moss inside a salad box with closed lid on the window sill. I actually used my aquarium water to soak it and almost never open the lid again until I saw the revived ones.

[@danielciau4323]

Another testimonial! My sphagnum moss unexpectedly came to life recently with my Anthurium Crystallinum pot. It’s in a cloche and a greenhouse right now. I think the humidity and heat really helped Also i’m so jealous of your potting skills Benji! They always look so clean and nice while my plant are always just covered in soil lmaoo

[@megan5879]

I love that your intro which a lot of KZbinrs use to show the adrenaline filled moments from the vlog is you cutting moss and trying to decide between two colors.

[@briksization]

He's so smart and sweet! Never subscribe to younger youtubers because can't relate with the content, but I learn a lot from him.

[@shandaisy]

I really laugh when Theo keep barking when you try to say something. It so funny and cute 😂 (I was distracted from the plant 😂)

[@AyandaLembede]

the way he says "cut, cut" every time he cuts the root of the plant is so adorable!!

[@123astbury]

You are such a gentle soul. Another lovely video.

[@benlcr7784]

Your so calm n cool that's y I ❤️ watching you. I hate loud n noisy 😂.

[@tesseoul]

You have a lot of plant varities which I like so much. The ackwardness of some of the plants make it so unique especially how you pot it. It's so nice to see. I'm always inspired.

[@AG-de9il]

Your videos are always so relaxing to watch.

[@theliens]

People are just being mean. It worked for me and I’m thrilled! I finally have moss to make terrariums in the middle of our winter in Canada. Im so glad you posted the video on how to grow spagnum moss! Don’t let those comments bring you down, we appreciate and love your videos ☺️

[@Windy_indy]

So excited to move my plants outside

[@LShropper]

Omg same but it’s still 40°F here today 😭

[@kittencatten7632]

sameee, brought violets outside because it was about 70-ish yesterday but now it’s literally 35 degrees 😭

[@benjiplant]

i’ve been doing a lot of work on my balcony!! i might make a video about it soon but i feel awkward filming on my balcony because my neighbors can watch me record 😭

[@LShropper]

@@benjiplant That’s just an exclusive preview for them :)

[@parisplayzz6368]

Hi Benji just some advice sphagnum moss has limited nutrients so plants can absorb that nutrients very fast making sphagnum moss great for carnivorous plants but live sphagnum moss has nutrients like normal soil so the long term affects can affect your carnivorous plants growth.

[@benjiplant]

good to know! i’m still pretty new to carnivorous plants, what other substrates would u recommend? I haven’t tried another growing medium yet so any insight would be much appreciated :) although idk if i’ll remove the live moss haha i love it too much

[@17uhrgesundbrunnenyeet30]

@@benjiplant the live sphagnum doesn't affect your carnivorous plants in a negative way. Some of them like sarracenia or drosera and also a lot of pinguiculas share their natural habitat with sphagnum.

[@parisplayzz6368]

@@17uhrgesundbrunnenyeet30 true but over time there growth can come out wonky and the plant won’t look the best I learned that the hard way

[@parisplayzz6368]

@@benjiplant other substrates can also include cooked sphagnum moss so it won’t come back to life or just plane peat

[@parisplayzz6368]

Hope that helps😊

[@WitchyHocusPocus]

Benji, loved this video. Love the plant chores, repots, and also plant tours. Casual and relaxing. Thank you!!!!

[@Marantamarie]

I get excited everytime you upload a video! Super happy you’ve been consistent with great quality videos as well 💚

[@vlong7112]

I totally put small tasks on my lists too!! 😂 It's validating to see that check mark and look back on what's been accomplished ☺️☑️☑️☑️

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

So informative and relaxing at the same time.

[@mythicalmim]

I love Notion, it's really helped me keep all my thoughts and tasks organized. I like the fact that there are so many different templates and tools so you can keep everything in one place. Nice to see this sponsorship! I also enjoy these longer videos; they are great to crochet to.

[@Naomi-yc4fp]

With the regrowing sphagnum moss thing, I actually gave it a try but with a random brand, and it is currently growing! There’s little green mosses appearing on the og moss, so I can guarantee that the method works! It’s only been like 1 months too!

[@tigger1eyore2]

You actually can't say something isn't gonna work unless you actually try it yourself so forget the haters I enjoy your videos very soothing very relaxing and it makes me want to work along with you good job Benji

[@お茶-x1v]

The plants should be the thing is capable to calm our souls and minds. Please don't take it seriously, just try and enjoy their growth like Benji. Benji's videos always make my mind feel free.

[@angeldannyso]

[@jaigalarza4950]

I agree with cutting the roots!

[@annafritz6328]

I never get tired of seeing your greenhouse cabinet!

[@Factoryflowers]

I don’t know what harness you’re using for Theo, but as a dog trainer I recommend Brilliant K-9. Semi-custom fit and plain or patterned fabric. Slips on over the head, protects the chest band from cutting, and has a single magnetic snap. Fast and easy on and off. No copies need apply. My 25 lb dogs are collar trained but my husband prefers the harness. I’m not connected to the biz at all, just like it when I find a decent product actually engineered for function and comfort. These are working dog harnesses. Also, this was a nice, relaxing Sunday morning video. Thanks.

[@benjiplant]

We're using the Buddy Belt harness. It was tough to find one that works for him because he's so small, but this one is a perfect fit! Thank u for the recommendation tho!

[@rachel6036]

[@stefaanwalleghem2746]

I was working some private plant administration (i'm quite nerdy) and I love watching longer video's about plants while I'm working on the computer. So keep going and keep growing.

[@benjiplant]

Thank you! Could i ask what private plant administration is? I’ve never heard of it but sounds interesting

[@stefaanwalleghem2746]

@@benjiplant oh, lol, it's nothing special. I just started collecting plants as I am not a shop owner, it's private, and my administration is just the same as what you do with your software. I note every step I take day by day in an excel file, like amount of water I give to certain plants, up to the weather and temperature of the day. I try to be as detailed as I can about it.

Benji, I am just repoting my plants now, thanks for the points. Btw the Venus fly trap is native to my are Brunswick County southeast US A. Excellent video 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@ghostdelights]

Ahhh I love your videos so much Benji! They’re so soothing to listen to and I appreciate the very candid talk about how you care for your plants. I’ve only recently gotten into spagnum moss since I started using it to propagate my Monstera Delisiosas which has SUCH amazing success. I didn’t realize there were sustainability concerns about it though. I’ll definitely be looking into most sustainable high quality sources. And I haven’t checked yet, but I hope if you haven’t created one that perhaps you’ll share some details regarding how you grow spagnum moss. And I was wondering what your thoughts are on algae / oceany (?) fertilizers? I was sooo scared of using synthetic fertilizer from when I first began caring for plants and I burnt some of them. But I haven’t had any issues with the kelpy/ algae based fertilizer. Also how are you getting your reverse osmosis water? From the store or do you perhaps have an in-home filtration system? Thank you again for creating such lovely videos. ✨

Just recently discovered ur content. This is low key mint asmr

[@andreadybvik]

You teach me so much about plants! Love your videos! 💚

[@liv_ryan]

wow. just recently made a hard copy log of my plants for this growing season with similar columns for what needs repotting and care. it really can be hard to remember what you need at the plant store. and tbh, i hate buying pots and polls ect... it can be so costly when not done correctly. so i tried what i thought was best but it looks like that was just a rough draft for my notion logging lol. the search bar for the log widened my eyes, great content as always. thank you benji.

[@benjiplant]

i always forgot what I need when I'm at plant stores which leads to me either buying something I don't need or having to make another trip back lol. Something I've been doing lately is walking around my house before I leave and taking a photo of the plant that needs a new pot, or the space that I'm planning to put a plant in. Then I refer to the photos while I'm shopping. And yes, the search bar is game changing!!! Especially when u have a ton of plants lol

I put holes in the sides of my inside pots (hydro) so a lot of oxygen can get to the roots. I imagen it can also be good for soil. Just make sure to put something inside the pot to hold back the soil and still let the air through.
