Relaxing day of Houseplant Maintenance | care tips, watering, updates

[@selmasjournal2155]

I have depression unfortunately I can afore medication 💊 and my plants 🪴 have play a big role at keeping me sane. Some time I feel so bad that simply I can’t take care of my plants. Honestly I am so grateful that you make videos, you relax me and inspire me to keep going with my plant 🌱 journey 🥰

[@tuna3425]

I'm so sorry you have to go through that, so many people I know are struggling mentally and we're still so young. I'm lucky I'm not in the state they are in, yet. But still, I hope you can find the help you need and motivation to keep going ♡

[@TheOnlyKontrol]

You truly need to do some research. You realize those pills you can get aren’t a requirement and I wouldn’t recommend them. There is always a natural way…they just don’t want you to know that. For example a plant called Perforate St John's-wort has been used for depression for many years…other things I can add like certain mushrooms also.

[@SamSeoMaC]

Are you doing well Selma?? How is going your collection?

[@victormolotov]

I started to use my plants as a barometer of my depression disorder. If I see them neglected I get awareness of me going down that slope.. and I immediately try to change something, get sunlight, take care of my plants and myself. But sometimes I just watch them die

[@SamSeoMaC]

@@victormolotov I totally understand that, living the same here

[@jacobvillas8390]

Another dose of your therapeutic and calming vlogs 😌 your videos feel like home.

[@viettrung7822]

35 MINUTES!! what blessing on this Sunday afternoon..🙏🌱

[@jademurray8235]

I thought the same too🌿💜🌿 35mins.... yaaaayy🙏🏽

[@mattirons6539]

Yes please do more of these! I love how we get to see your authentic plant journey, and how you develop your plants between your bigger plant tours!

[@nobodyplaylists]

I was waiting a video from you, you're my favorite 'plants' youtuber!! 🤎🪴

[@vyvienvp3413]

Hi Benji, you are a man after my heart, with you gentle manner and delightful plants. But also that Parisian music in the background, that is very clever, to add texture to your videos. X:)

[@markabasolo1962]

Thank you again Benjiii for making this video! I really need a breather from a stressful acad week. You always keep reminding me to appreciate nature and to care for it🥺 Now I'm back to my core, taking care of my plants🥰

[@patriciaangelam]

OH IM SO HAPPY YOU UPLOADED i was just binge watching your videos and this is such a sweet treat!! all the love to you, chris, and theo, benji!!

[@rajskierosliny]

Benji’s videos are so calm and relaxing ☺️ Once I found the channel I watched all of videos ❤️

[@hoon_seungri]

I am so happy you uploaded. Your vlog is my happy pill. ❤️❤️

[@sillyyerba]

I do just take care of my plants while watching your videos and it helps me a lot with romanticizing what Im doing. Thank you Benji

[@OnewithNature2000]

I call your videos therapy. Automatically I AM RELAXED and i need more of this

[@karenb136]

I loved this video. Very relaxing. Such beautiful plants. I love seeing little Theo too. 💚🌿🪴🌱💚

[@503menagerie3]

You seriously have the most wholesome channel on KZbin…and I’m having some major plant envy! Theo is adorable and it’s great to see him settling in, even if he is a fern chomper ;)

[@filiptestar9090]

Omg I cried of happiness wjen i saw that you uploaded! You made my day

[@GreenhornBonsai]

So impressed by your kokedama covered with string of turtles!

[@benjiplant]

Thank u, it's inspired by the Instagram account @atelir_te, their ig is amazing. They call these creations tamandamas btw!

[@GreenhornBonsai]

@@benjiplant tamandamas! Love them!

[@HammerandPipe]

“Hello today Im going to do a chill video” Bro every video is chill. *chefs kiss*

[@curmudgeon4972]

U are actually so wonderful I love your attention to detail and patience with all of your plants and creations

[@BBB-ep4lt]

I’ve been binging your videos so much lately and honestly you’re videos genuinely feel so therapeutic and lowkey they motivate me to make my own life happier as odd as that might sound

[@irisbowen7879]

I don't even have any plants and I watched this whole thing. So relaxing.

[@kochimane686]

hey Benji, Just want to let you know that with the pot around 16:14 if you put with outside with the direct light and water/moisture, the hanging rope might/will broke at the wet area, ive made that mistake and lost a few pots because of that!

[@benjiplant]

good to know, thank u!

[@taishakuten5141]

I experienced the same! Jute string is really fragile so I prefer macrame string as it is more sturdy and long lasting.

[@lowgroundmar]

Loved everything you showed. Keep up the good work. I will try and find some of the plants you showed

[@kkmeilicke]

Such a relaxing video, and thank you for inviting us to do plant chores too. I actually got up and did some repotting and watering, inspired by your encouragement. My plants thank you too 🌿 I'm so happy Theo is enjoying his new home--he has great parents.

[@francoisbroderick5832]

you inspire me so much!! you’re videos are so calming and peaceful but at the same time it’s so entertaining :)) not only r ur plants interesting but the way you care for them and talk about them is really nice . btw,, the ball with the string of turtles literally made my mouth drop i’ve never seen anything so cool!!! genuinely your videos are absolutely amazing and they’re exactly what i need at the end of a big week :)

[@hoatzin5787]

I m actually working for school, thank you for relaxing me :))

[@elena_a-2023]

This was perfect!! Love this “watering” video. Thank you for taking us around your place showing us about watering your plants and explaining their needs! Also, a calming and relaxing video!

[@politiclpanties]

you’ve come so far with how comfortable you seem on camera now it’s always such a delight to watch your videos :)

[@jofe3587]

BABEEEE WAKE UPP BENJA UPLOADEEDDDDDD 🤸‍♀🚶‍♂🛏 Jokes aside though, it's nice to see another video! You had my inspiration to start making little terrariums, taking care of plants, and even having aquariums

[@benjiplant]

tysm! so cool to hear you're getting into all those things, there's so much to learn and joy in this hobby. there's a lot of cross-over with aquariums, houseplants, and terrariums. I like to use my aquariums for water propagations and sometimes use aquarium water to water my plants. i used to study aquaculture and aquaponics so i know an unnecessary amount ab fish poop lol

[@jofe3587]

@@benjiplant Your welcomeeee! I just got my stuff for my tank, I'm settin' up the stuff and clearing things out, hopefully things go right :D

[@jlanvers]

i am incredibly excited to see how your worm casting goes. please update us often!

[@vyvienvp3413]

In Portugal where it is pretty hot in summer, generally people put a little dish under each pot. You lose less water that way and this keeps the roots cool also. Also, another Mediterranean watering tip is to only water early morning or evening. But you probably know all this. X:)

[@andreadybvik]

This was so nice to have in the background when I cared for my own plants! 💚 Thank you for sharing!

[@theoroosen3403]

Yeeeeeess! I've been waiting al week for some good benji content, made my day😊🌱

[@DeezeeBreezee]

Watching this video while cooking 🥰

[@Yoliplanting]

Benji I can tell it's California. You said it was 80 degrees and you leave your balcony door open to get a breeze. Here where I live, no breeze, intense humidity, heat and mosquitoes makes it impossible. Beautiful relaxing video. Your voice is so calming and you look just like my son. It was a joy to watch.

[@opalcoastal-ld5kd]

I love how informative and peaceful you are. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your beautiful spirit with all of us.

[@ryankonopka2558]

I still come back to this video 5 months later when I don’t wanna do plant chores alone 😫💚

[@Charlotte-vi4pq]

Thanks for sharing your lovely plants and how you care for them, you are so calm and relaxing.

[@SAMMl]

I love your plants and your voice, very calming.

[@kinga9148]

These videos are so calming, I like to turn them on, while I'm getting stuff done, thanks

[@LShropper]

I just got back from LA for the first time and it’s a gardener’s paradise! 😍 I’m from Missouri so seeing all of the succulents growing in the ground was a crazy experience. I’m glad that someone so passionate about plants is able to call LA home!

[@arkeiyan]

thank you for bringing me some peace this sunday morning

[@agathelatil4529]

I feel so much better after watching this. thanks

[@cbeauty3619]

Hello Benji, just wanted to say thank you for these lovely videos. I find them very relaxing.

[@hemaverma786]

i love plants, i do have plants and every sunday is plant day for me and i have to take all my plant outside to water them and then leave it outside for the day and in the evening i bring them inside,,,,honestly its really tiring but you are doing all this for yourself not for them...i love them.

[@action_ann]

This helped me alot today. With all whats going on in the world. It got rid of my headache and calmed me down. Thank you alot. 🙏🏼🥰

[@lillianmeaney]

i was doing a project for school and i was presenting i have this video playing earlier and the class saw the title of the video when i was turning the video down, and i love our videos you make me happy :)

[@Caromaj02]

The excitement every time I see a new video from Benji PLUS it's 35 minutes long 🥰

[@inhkhoi16]

I really love your video. I feel calm when hearing your voice.

[@flowerfairy419]

[@serenity8910]

I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Your videos are so relaxing to watch. I don't know why but watching repotting and plant care videos is very calming and healing. 😌

[@doyouzgot2knw]

I need to see more of your plant chores. Lol I just like watching you water your plants

[@bella.552]

this entire video is such a vibe

[@francinez1087]

I love to watch plant chore videos as I do my own as well 🙂 thanks for the company today.

[@jammarcelo1168]

You are so relaxing to watch and listen to!

[@lily4843]

I've only just found your channel but I love how therapeutic and calming it is. Your videos are very relaxing and I'm so jealous of your plant collection

[@sharonbrown5238]

Enjoyed the chores video and I love Theo so much I had a chihuahua for 17 years I lost a couple months ago and he reminds me so much of her. Her name was Precious and she was a 4 lb little love with the same color as Theo. Enjoy him he will bring you so much joy.

[@lailarizkalla3111]

I love watching you it’s relaxing to take care of such groups of plants.

[@gmatt2498]

Yes more videos on you watering your plants! So relaxing and for me to learn 🪴💞

[@martinlacson1446]

I'm always excited for new uploads! Keep them coming 💗

[@jazrodz]

Just happened on your videos and I am loving them … you are precious and inspiring …

[@bri4210]

I love all of this. The aquarium/vivarium outside was really tranquil.

[@kabasilisk]

This was a lovely video :) we really liked seeing your shrimp!

[@larahansen5680]

I podded up a few of my plants while listening to u... so calming😊

[@alexbeebee9366]

the first advert I haven't skipped through.

[@JustLikeMarie2]

Where have you been all my life? I love your videos and all your plants are like food to my eyes. 😅

[@christopherledesma6774]

Your ikea cabinet door closes on it's own because it's not leveled. Mine did the same thing. When the doors are closed if you can see they are not even in the middle where they meet just adjust the screws on the legs to level it.

[@ninabeena83]

That passiflora (sp?) vine and the Spendids/Dubia growing up your song of India is soooooooooo stinkin CUTE! 😍

[@phorn_khann]

Good Job 😮

[@anez7574]

Hey, just an idea, since you have a lot of plants you could plug up your sink when watering as quite a bit of the water drains, and then use it to drench other plants

[@tinabratland4027]

I also like to watch plant chore videos while doing my own plant chores.😄 I see how you style your plant areas and that has given inspiration to do the same for mine. Plant moments instead of over filled shelves.

[@fluorexence4112]

god bless you and your famil benji for entertaining us every week

[@Brianna-nv5vr]

so inspiring!! love seeing how you take care of your plants, and how beautiful your apartment is decorated!

[@anwarallie]

That tamandama is AMAZING! Please do a tutorial. Can any plant be used like a phalaenopsis orchid or is it best to use a plant that cab handle a lot of moisture?

[@marianavacishandmadeconcept]

Lovely house! Benji ♡ you calm me down, I love your videos 🪴🌵🍃 thanks for sharing!❤

[@samanthakim3499]

I love your channel so much I just found it I’m currently going through everyday watching every single one of your videos and liking them

[@payalv5874]

really loved this video,and this kinda content is great too, please do make more of it, would love to see you propogate and make plant medium mixes and all sorts of plant chores💖.

[@gekkojelly]

I was just watching your videos and was wondering if you had one like this, what a great surprise! Can't wait to watch while I clean 💕

[@danielacusimano2333]

Sono senza parole! Bravissimo

[@studywithjun8304]

It's the very first time for me to really appreciate your home & collection of pots and plants. Don't know why cuz I have watched all of your previous videos... anyway, it really made me feel like some sort of vacation, summer (with 2˚C outside :P). It was a really good use of those 30 minutes🪴💚. Btw, this little red-haired rat of yours is a real cutie! (I want to clarify - I was talking about Theo, lol)

[@gab2079]

tip for your platycerium: soak it in water for 30 minutes and that only once or twice a month and youre good to go for another month. also i noticed, is your cyperus (on your balcony) constantly soaking in water? because it loves it, like to have its ''feet'' in water constantly with a bassin or something

[@nepramthoudam437]

Love from India, I feel so good watching your video

[@matildasaunders6050]

I love all your videos, I especially love the chill ones but I’d love to see a video maybe where you go around different stores and look for pots or stores you have gotten your pots from. I also have been thinking of purchasing a Shikibuton and would love an in-depth video on just your bed frame and your shikibuton. But whatever you put out I will always watch and love 🥰

[@preciousdeperalta3387]

Please do this more often!! I always feel like I'm playing adorable home when I watch these

[@sschleutker]

Thank you for posting another great video! This is was very therapeutic, after a long stressful weekend lots of love from your fans 🌸🧸🌸

[@minimunikids8644]

I love how cute your worm bin is! I can't believe how it can look great! I need to get one~ I Bokashi our foodwaste and I prefer it to vermicomposting (then again both would be great as well) because I can compost processed food, leftover food (even meat and bones!) as well as the regular stuff people usually compost. And during the processing, you can collect "leachate" and are a natural fertilizer as well. I've been diluting it in water and my garden plants love it! After the food ferments I add it to a compost bin and I thought the worst was over... But I saw maggotsssss They turned out to be black soldier fly maggots and are great for decomposing but I got the chills just looking at them squirm..... Also the flies only live for a few days are aren't known carriers of diseases so they've been a surprising but not altogether unpleasant experience 😅

[@lillianfaire5435]

This was so relaxing and very comforting to watch while watering my own jungle of plants 😌🌱

[@enakojic]

i find it so funny everytime he says its so hot because here in australia we have had 40 degree (celcius) days this whole month and its normal for us.
