That Asian superstition you're referring to is the belief that buying sharp objects like scissors or knives as gifts, means you're cutting off that relationship.
oh that's really interesting, whenever I asked my mom what it meant she would never tell me lol. when my dad gave me some knives for my new apartment she made me give them back to him and exchange a dollar for them.
😯 wow my Spanish family has the same superstition about knives, if someone offers you one you always have to give them at least a coin to make it an exchange and not a gift!
us filipinos have that belief too, but we have other beliefs as well that make gift giving kinda scary haha for example, if you gift someone shoes, it's believed that they'll walk away from you eventually. my parents also told me not to gift people handkerchiefs (dunno why i ever would, that's incredibly old fashioned) because they'd cry over you.
@@benjiplant my Indian family doesn't even hand each other knives or scissors, if you ask someone to hand it to you they put it down instead of handing it to you.
Benjiplant viewers be like after watching this video: wants to be productive suddenly haha and it did work. I think i wanted to finish my balcony makeover rn to give permanent space for my plants but it's midnight here already lol gotta wake up early instead tomorrow.🌼🐑
I had been procrastinating sending an email for a week and 2:44 finally did it for me. For once the tables have turned and youtube has resulted in my being more productive.
I didn’t think I would see the radio exercise on your videos! what a great surprise☺️ Traditionally,Japanese elementary schools hold morning radio exercise classes (more like gatherings) in parks and playgrounds for couple weeks in summer break! they say it’s to prevent kids from being lazy during summer break and keep them stay healthy, but I remember having to get up at 6:00 am everyday for two weeks since the gathering starts at 6:30, and it was very tiring😅 but it’s great exercise though!! sorry for the long comment, but i love your videos so much💕 i started getting plants and making moss terrariums because of your videos!! hope you and Chris have a nice day, and don’t be too hard on yourself🌿 sending lots of love from Japan👋🇯🇵
Benji, at 3:40 you showed a brief clip of your mom and dad next to each other. THANK YOU! That gives us another backstory about YOU, and they are sweet people! I hope she loves this Mother’s Day gift 🎁
Hi Benji, My name is Les. I’m a 29 year old guy who gets married next week. I work as a landscaper and currently live in CT. This is my first time commenting but not my last. Subbed because I love the way you give Info and I love a lot of your ideas. I love plants, Cacti and mushrooms 😋. I grow them all at home. Just wanted to share some info on myself since your giving us info on you. Thank you for your content. Please don’t ever stop. Gracias Amigo 🌵🌻🍄
Maybe I’m the only Japanese who watches your videos?but it’s soo funny I see the radio exercise in your video!! The music is very nostalgic for me. Love your video!
LOVE YOU, your Plants, Pots and your contents are so calming just like everyone says. You've inspired me to get a Song of India Tree in my Home Office and it makes me feel good while working and watching your videos.
Oooo that exercise video looks like my style! Love the vibes. You have really rekindled my love for my plants. Can’t wait to show you my newest plant projects.
6:35 Ahh the league of legends plushy and figures 😍 when Benji becomes super rich and famous he'll have to buy Chris a gaming PC, poor guy is gaming on the Mac 😂
I could probably be your grandmother 😄 So it was very interesting to hear you described how I feel, exactly the same, some days I can do quite a bit, others I cannot find any motivation which actually I think it's a good thing in a way but it nags at me why it is taking me so long 🙄 I think we just need to be ok with slowing down some days and perhaps gain new perspectives, ideas. I very much enjoy watching your videos, just started recently. Thank you for sharing some of your activities with the world🙏
You guys remind me of the characters from kissesXkissXkisses it’s a cute little manhwa I like to read, personality might not be 100 it’s more of an appearance thing
i probably should but i don’t really mind it too much, i also just don’t have a pot large enough yet haha. The nursery told me it goes dormant in fall so i’ll probably wait until next spring to repot

@@laksunn according to my Indian mother, if you have someone else's handkerchief, you tend to fight with them somehow.

It's so cute and funny for me(Japanese) to watch Benji and Chris doing Japanese radio exercise 😂
The “love you” at the end. 🥺 I needed that thank you. ❤️
