"feeling content: to be appreciated, to be surrounded by plants, to have loved ones" i have never agreed with something harder. your videos make me so happy. congrats on the 100k :)
we talked a lot about it before we decided to do this! we’re also making sure to keep an open and honest line of communication. it’s been really great so far :)
Really like your “business” plans. Hope you don’t start overscripting though. Your very natural way of doing things is what makes your content so different and so “relaxing”. Wish you guys all the success in the world and keep sending us your positive vibes. Cheers from Mexico!
i'm not really going to be writing a script at all! it's just for when i'm doing informative videos like "how to make a terrarium" or "how to grow moss". It helps when i have a general outline of my talking points. i often find myself forgetting what I was about to say lol
your content brings so many people joy, knowledge, and relaxation - it's no wonder your subscriber count is skyrocketing!! I found your channel over a year ago and it's been so much fun watching your content develop, congrats on all of your success! Also I audibly cackled when you said "Chris is in his dinosaur era" lmfao
Sooo happy that you’re pursuing your passion & that things have fallen into place for you. Pleeease don’t stop being your raw, authentic, & unscripted self! I’ve seen way too many RU-vidrs try to fit into this “content creator/influencer” mold & you can tell that their content isn’t genuine & they ultimately fizzle out. Much luck & love to both you & Chris 💕
thank u!! also i won’t be really be writing scripts!! just general talking points so i can keep track of what i’m trying to talk about. i’m really bad at remembering lines… like really really bad, so full on scripts don’t work for me haha
Your vibe is so sweet Benji. We love the content and glad that you are getting organized and also taking care of your needs. Sorry about the mantis, you made her last few days so comfortable. Happy Planting 💚🌱🍃
her template is so nice! chris and i didn't know anything before watching her video and it was a great starting point. I highly recommend her vid for anyone who wants to try Notion, but hasn't bc it seems overwhelming
So happy for you both in this next phase of your journey together! Your videos are so soothing. I like watching them when I am tending to my own plants (:
that’s perfect! i always like to imagine people are doing their plant chores while watching my videos. that’s what i do when i watch other plant youtubers haha
I’m glad you’re moving in directions you want with benjiplant!! Please don’t feel pressure to become TOO “professional”. We love your channel just the way it is! :)
i love your videos/content!! idk how to explain it but watching them feels like the time goes so slow (but in a good way!). the way you edit/film is super relaxing and put together so nicely. it’s just so comforting to watch. i always look forward to see what you put out next
aaa benji your personality and aura are always so comforting :') your videos are always so relaxing and inspiring :') and i looove seeing you and chris so happy together! :'D all the loove!
Hi Benji!! One year on You Tube and over 100 thousand subs already! Goes to show we love good content when we plant lovers see it! Thanks for all the effort you put in. I use to watch you with coffee to start my week. I now find myself switching to your channel for a cool smooth atmosphere. Glad to see you and Chris getting to work together. I just love you guys and your world you are willing to share!
You the reason I made my first terrarium and I’ve been addicted since! I even got my mom into terrariums afterwards lol. She’s got a green thumb in general and an entire plant room, but she loved the idea of a slice of forest in a jar!
Wow I was one of your first subscribers immediately call my eyes your passion for plants, your exotic taste, your beautiful plants, but what I like the most is your SWEETNESS that you express 💖💖💖
R.I.P. Mantis ☹️ I find multiple praying mantis in my yard every spring and summer. Had a tiny one on my peace lily this past summer. It was about an inch long. Smallest one I've ever seen. Found one around 5 and a half inches a few years ago. Very cool, interesting creatures.
ahh, how exciting for ya’ll! looking forward to more content. please keep including snippets of books and artists / makers that you’re a fan of! it really is an investment in the self & knowledge. just subbed to your patreon & am super excited for the podcast!
check out the Bryology podcast with Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer its an interesting podcast episode with a woman who has a phd in moss... so cool lol. and yes i'll be releasing a podcast episode at the end of february! I'm excited for it too because i've been an avid listener to podcasts for around 6 years. I've always wanted to be on one haha. i'm not sure what the topic will be just yet, but i'll ask in the patreon feed!
I just absolutely ADORE you both🙏🏽, Benji your content warms my heart, your videos are like therapy in itself🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜 Congratulations & infinite blessings to you🌿💚🌿
Thank you for this video Benji and Chris! I am so happy for both of you with this new adventure! I learn so much from your content. Also, as a mental health therapist myself, I am glad you are participating in it and setting up goals for yourself. By the way, your passion for plants is inspiring.
Some interesting background into what goes into you creating your content. My plants play such a vital part of my well-being. I only have around 50 in my home but I love tending to them and seeing them grow. I went to start some small terrariums this year and your are so inspiring. Love Chris’ reading list. We have pretty much the same books with ‘Dune’, ‘The House in the Cerulean Sea’ and ‘A Little Life’. Eager to see how your channel progresses in 2022 🌱
You are such a sweetheart and I love your videos. Right now I am working on learning about plants for my home. I am a green witch with a BA in Agriculture and an avid American (New York) gardener (but never explored indoor plants enough so I am here with you on your journey. I am also a youtuber so I am so happy to be here to watch your work unfold. I also can listen to you talk for hours.
Love you Benji and I am so happy for you. I watch your videos because they really help me when I need to get out of my head and lower my anxiety. Your channel has almost become a safe space for me so thank you for creating.
You are so sweet! I love to watch you and happy your partner has officially joined your team. Enjoy the process in all you do. Your voice so so chill and your presence radiates peace and calmness. Stay humble and sweet. Massive success is coming in the Year of the Tiger 🐅✨🌹🌱🌿🧧🎊 Congratulations!!!
When I watch your videos it makes my day so much more better! , I had my first ever plant sell yesterday I had so much anxiety but I sold everything! and then I saw that you were gonna post and my anxeity left and I got excited ! I love your videos Benji thanks so much 🌱❤️😊
I know the feeling all too well. Before my first plant swap I was so nervous that things wouldn't go well, people wouldn't enjoy their time, etc. But as ppl showed up it, it became such a nice experience. you'll become more comfortable with time as you do more plant sales! good job and good luck with ur business!
I love your content! You inspired me to get into plants; I found Aquascaping first and found some of your videos while roaming on RU-vid, and now I’m hooked with what you create. It’s the highlight of my day and you inspired me to propagate some of my mom’s golden pathos that were vining down from her plants:)
Your videos are so therapeutic and calming. Really glad I found your channel. I love the fact you are learning more of what you are already so good at. I am definitely getting the interior design handbook too. I also feel what looks good but don’t know why It does will be a great learning experience. Thank you so much for being an inspiration Benji. Wishing you much more happiness this year. Love from India
I love watching you Benji Everytime in RU-vid and TikTok I also stalk you in Instagram to your stories. I really love your plant content more power and blessings to you! 💚💚💚
This was such a wholesome video!! Also we use so much cow manure as fertilizer here in India, its very easy to use, you have to just dry it out completely and then use it as compost or just dunk it in a vermicomposting pit, but I guess the one you are using would be finely processed.
I love your posts they are so peaceful. If you ever make it to Florida, the Edison Ford winter estate host an amazing annual plant sale. Stay peaceful 😊
i love how relaxing your videos are it puts me in the mood to have a good day, i also love how you and chris never like came out, you just are dating like if you guys were straight which puts so much normalization on it!
thank u so much! and yes, it's difficult to remember to do this but recently we've been trying to eat healthier and move around more often. I appreciate the advice!
the best thing about creating as a career is to take time for yourself and also understand how you work and deal with how your work affects you, it's great to see you learning more to cater to your needs first to ensure better videos while maintaining time for yourself, cannot wait for 2022 Benji plant(with Chris 😌), also an avid podcast listener, cannot wait for your podcasts❣
idk why but whenever chris is on the camera, his initial reaction would always be to smile. **oh! im on the camera** **smiles** ahaha u guys are cute! love u, benji! can't wait to see ur family (of doggos) and plants to grow! maybe we'll see you in your own garden soon! all love from ph 🇵🇭
Really enjoy your content. We have a lot in common, plants, making terrarium ecosystems, our love of mosses, liverworts, and bryophytes. It was cute to hear you talk about having plants for so long that they felt like your children. I’ve had a ponytail palm since I was a young teen. It’s older than you now. 😊 Last Spring I had to prune off the top two+ feet because it was against the ceiling. Seven new branches sprouted!! A massive new pot was next. That was a job for two people. You might find your passion wax and wane, but just go with it. You will find your way. Good luck with your new business! 😸✌️
I love your content. Your voice is very soothing, and the beats of your videos are very calm. Keep being your authentic selves. It's rare and beautiful. Cheers to getting more organized, and creating a work life balance. Congratulations. :)
I remember that one of the last times I commented you were at 6k! Amazing how your channel has grown, congratulations! I'm 32 and I'm learning so much about plants from you, your plant styling gives me so much inspiration too, I love your aesthetics.
Wow, you’ve got so many subscribers now! Good job, congrats to the both of you! Your voice is very relaxing, and so are your videos. Love it! Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see what 2022 brings to the both of you! Will be hear watching and supporting. Good stuff all around :)
I love the fact that you are now like really in it!! And I'm looking forward to the podcast🤭 The Voice is sooo soothing and wholesome, like I don't even need better help if I have these contents🍀🍀
Your videos are so amazing and calming. I love creating/do similar stuff as you but I don't film any of it. It makes me so happy seeing others share the beautiful of living things with you own unique twist to it. Thank you so much
i love your videos so much!! idk if this is weird to say but you are a huge role model and a big reason why i’m going to a specialized plant school rn!
Ggaaaahhh!!! Aaaarrghh you and chris are sooo cute in your fit check and i really really like the way you talk as if you're actually in front of us and we're having a chat or something 🥺🥺❤❤❤ i am honestly really grateful and happy whenever i see youuuu huhu
