Plant Diaries | new puppy, plant shopping, aquariums

Chris and I got a dog! We've named him Theodore, but call him Theo for short. He's a tiny 6 month old chihuahua and he's quickly getting comfortable with us. Luckily he's too small to really mess with my plants lol. I went out plant shopping with my friend Jiahao and brought Theo along with me. I'm also starting to work on a new aquarium! Huge shout out to Julienne Harvey for allowing me to use their song, Ami!!
best,

Benji: We have a table here to sit down and relax on the balcony The table: 🪴🌿 🌱 👁👄👁 ☘ 🪴 🍃

[@benjiplant]

lol, now i just use the bench pond to hang out on the balcony.. the space is honestly really tight for two ppl and chris sunburns easily hahaha

[@benjiplant]

I was supposed to upload the ikea cabinet update this weekend , but I had some technical issues with the audio so I had to refilm a couple clips. It will hopefully be posted by next week. Sorry to keep y'all waiting, but in the meantime, meet Theo!

[@hannahdembosky6827]

Me: I need to be careful when moving my moss, I'm so worried I'll damage it Benji: *blends moss*

[@emq6892]

😅😅😅😅👏🏻 yeah

[@choidaniel8430]

I think you're one of the most aesthetic KZbinrs, watching your videos relives my anxiety btw I'm your new sub

[@elena_a-2023]

My goodness! Theo is so precious! Such a good dog. He goes along with anything. He doesn’t even seem interested in the plants which is a plus. I never new about blending the moss. I always learn something new with your videos. Thank you Benji! Btw, I also don’t like rollercoasters 🎢

[@benjiplant]

chris forced me to go on some rollercoasterws last summer and I was unable to speak for like 2 minutes after we got off T_T

[@chadjariya1108]

It's just so pleasant to be around people that speak softly like Benji does. So soothing to the ears and heart.

[@gracelaw8797]

Benji, Chris, the plants, and Theo are the cutest little family!

[@umm3581]

aaaaakkk, yessss

[@quayswae]

Omg Theo is so cute!! Also, I can't wait to see how the "dry-start" method works for your new terrarium!

[@Smileesamantha]

Literally my main two thoughts after watching!

[@bread-grl]

theo is absolutely ADORABLE!!! so precious just drifting off while napping in the sun 🥺 when i got my puppy she was only 8 weeks old and just a tad bit smaller than theo so im excited to see him grow!! 💞

[@Ddalgiichigo]

Theo is so precious 🥺 I have a chihuahua too they’re the sweetest no matter what people say

[@benjiplant]

he's the sweetest dog i've ever met, so affectionate and cuddly

[@kkmeilicke]

I love how well Theo and Dave are getting along-they’re adorable together ❤️ A good tip I found for bathing dogs is to keep in mind that their temp runs higher than ours, like 100-102, so they like water that would be pretty warm for us, especially a little dog like Theo.

[@ratrat2265]

SO HAPPY TO SEE A CHIHUAHUA. So many people paint them as devils but they're so sweet when treated with respect.

[@marsf4883]

/Theo is so small and cute! Doesn’t seem like he barks much either, so sweet! Glad that him and Dave get along and are having fun together.

[@hereforthevideoessays6399]

8:17 best moment in the entire video!

[@catherinecorry8807]

this is exactly how i want to live when i grow up! the vibes of this channel are always so calm and nice.

[@johncedarleaf224]

Made my day! Love seeing not just the plant stuff, which I love, but your life together and now with Theo. Love you guys.

[@dmntxt9662]

Ughh now this channel has become more adooorrbsss. Love seeing Theo being happy when he's with you. He feel loved. 🥰♥️

[@micsminigarden1943]

Awwwwww his little yawn was so cute! Also I agree with the rollercoasters but if one goes upside down there is no way someone could get me on it, they scare me so bad

[@panacheclub810]

welcome little theo!! he looks super comfortable with you guys! thanks for these videos they’re so peaceful and they help so much with my anxiety disorder 🥲

[@mutazaljaharniO8]

As usual always peaceful and always I love the new puppy it’s adorable! 💚🥰

[@onlyplantito]

congrats to u and Chris for becoming a furparent ❤️❤️❤️🌸

[@DracoTheDragon]

Theo is so adorable! I love the plants and chill vibe as always :)❤

[@rhaelaettner9641]

Benji! You have just inspired genius! I’m about to build a terrarium and then I see the disco ball in your video and I’m gonna put a disco ball in my terrarium!!!

[@rising_waves]

Much love from Mexico. I love Theo! And so happy you have pachira aquatica. Mine is growing in the garden and is 4meters tall, full matured tree, with lots of babies under. It has amazing flowers with angelic scent. Sending joy and happiness from my panchira to yours ❤️

[@yuhh7234]

Thank you Benji for your videos!! It helps me with my stress and sadness especially during online class. Sending love and positivity!!

[@weronikakucharska8416]

[@hereforthevideoessays6399]

Thank you for this video. Looking forward to seeing Theo grow 😍

[@mikeguillermo1846]

[@savydwyer1058]

I had a chihuahua named Theodore too🥹 He was my best friend for over 15 years! Not gonna lie, I cried a little when you said his name; Happy tears of course :) I’m so insanely grateful the world got to be blessed with another Theo❤️ Love you and all of the amazing content you create!

[@jesbenji9742]

The cuteness overload is killing me!!! Theo is freaking adorable!!! 😍

[@dmw24]

I’ve never wanted a chihuahua more than I do right now 🥺😭

[@emmastevanoni5991]

[@ninin11]

[@mrgeek971minecraft]

I think you don’t even understand how much your videos give me so much joy, and THEO is the cutest puppy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@srinivs2175]

My favourite channel for plants ...

[@katiehainsworth2903]

Love your videos! Holy crap. Living in an apartment as a plant person is soooo hard. Thank you for showing us that it’s easy! ♥️ your videos are so informative and soothing. Thank you!

[@lynn5530]

I'm fairly new to your channel and wanted to say I love your videos. The are very relaxing to me. Theo is absolutely adorable 🥰. He is very blessed to have you guys and I can tell you guys feel very blessed to have him too. That is a very interesting technique for applying moss! Looking forward to seeing the progress! Take care and have a blessed day!

[@catwasthewalrus]

love it Benji!! these videos are amazing!! 🤍

[@alexisgarcia3365]

I would totally love to see more of your aquarium and terrarium set ups! Great video!

[@Leslie12.66]

Wow, I would have never thought using a blender and painting the mixture on wood or rocks could become what you showed us. I'm amazed!

[@oliviahavener6157]

your vlogs make me feel warm and cozy. please, make more! also theo is too cute

[@sukynessa]

Thank you for the video! Theo is so so lovely!

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

What a nice addition to your little family. Theo is the cutest.

[@janiesehenderson]

Your life is filled with so much love and happiness ❤️

[@maczka668]

I was waiting for Theo to appear! He is so cute. He looks much smaller than my biggest cat.😭💗 I’m watching your videos mainly for plant content, obviously, but I can’t get over the dog. 😅 Also, I have an impression, that your vlogs are becoming more fun and cheerful with Chris and Theo now. 👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻🐶✨

[@rhaelaettner9641]

Omg I’ve been watching you so long and omg I’ve never seen this video of Theo but I love him so much I’m already So excited I’m 2 minutes in and y’all haven’t even seen him yet and I’m crying

[@saravonnahme8258]

i never would have thought about simply blending moss and dirt together to create a balanced paste, that's genius but also seems really scary!! 😅

[@florencezhang8287]

I was very frustrated just now. And got even more irritable because I was frustrated by a little thing I did wrong. Then I opened this video, I feel so much calmer and peaceful. So, thank you for making this brilliant video. And Theo is so cute!!!

[@jumelponce5521]

Yey! A new addition in the family! I cannot wait for Theo's role in every ep. 😊😊😊

[@YouTubewontletmehaveagoodname]

[@PhoenixFyreRising]

Theo is so tiny and adorable. I am a dog person also. I have three Pomeranians and two are tea cup size so I care take them anywhere with me. They do become our babies. Enjoy and love his lots :)

[@lillyh7421]

Hey benji! I was wondering where you got the spray bottle at around 13:30 Theo is so cute!!!! It’s so cute when Theo and Dave play

[@benjiplant]

[@etchris]

[@KathyHasRamen]

You are all so Lovely. ♡ To train your dog to fetch you simply trade the toy for a treat/dry food. Repeat until pup fetches for no treat. You're so blessed. 💗
