Next time Christopher is over you should do a segment where he just pretends to be you for a little bit. Don't even say anything about it. Just have him show off some plant or something. You guys look so similar!
It may sound like a broken record, but your family videos really are heartwarming. The love and respect you have for each other is what our world is sadly missing in homes today.
The way your mum speaks to Chris at the end feels very like familial and idk how to explain it but the sweet exchange of knowledge between people from different backgrounds is just so nice to see.
What I love most about this vlog is your family connection… I also appreciate mom and dad, squatting down, so flexible, eating their fresh, homemade meal homemade together as a family…❤
I love how your home looks and I love how much Theo gets excited when your mum comes to visit. I hope you and your dad have a terrific time in Vietnam.
this is probably my favorite video of yours. just so heartwarming to see your family enter yours and chris' beautiful home, creating a meal from the fruits of your labor, and the stunning interiors as always
Oh watching you with your family brings back some wonderful memories. The large family. The comings and goings. The little tweaks that only close siblings can laughingly throw at each other. The laughter. The kindness. The projects with dad. Cherish your family. Keep them close (even if they are half a world away). I remember those visits. I used to have those visits. But people get old. Cats in the cradle and all that. Truly enjoy watching you both together. Even if it is only a peek thru a small screen that you so lovingly present. Thank you. I'm not sure why this video has brought all this up. Been watching your vlogs for a while now. Sorry. Signing off now. Enough with me. It's late and the screen is blurry.
Benji, I really like your parents and family. Can you someday go and sneak into their house and show us their decor, garden, and way they enjoy the simple precious moments? Thank you. Adrian
The clothesline is lovely! In case you didn’t know, you can buy washing machines that hook up to your sink - they use the water from the sink and then drain back into the sink as well. Along with the clothesline, that could eliminate the need to use the laundromat :)
in relationships and families there will always be hardships and of course everyone has their ups and downs and you never know what goes on behind the scenes but just by looking at your family and your partner in the videos I have watched I realize the very genuine love that you all look at each other with and the respect of course. It's truly heartwarming
Cool video. The bamboo was such a creative idea. It looks so nice with the lights hung up. My chihuahua Pixie is terrified of thunder, fireworks and loud vehicles. I have to give her the natural calming drops when she gets too bad.
So good to see your parents.your father knows how to do everything and I know your mother's food is delicious. Have a safe trip and make lots of videos .
8:01 Theo is so precious. Poor guy. I had a little one that was terrified during thunderstorms and rain. She’d get so anxious and pant and pace and try to climb onto our heads. Over time the things I discovered that helped most were “closing up shop” at the first sign of a storm (closing windows/blinds/curtains), putting on her thundervest, and playing calming music loud enough to partially muffle the sounds of the storm. It wasn’t a cure all but it helped and I could get her to curl up next to me and comfort her. We did have to medicate her one monsoon season that was especially bad; she was keeping us up all night and making herself sick. Figuring out the above combination, we didn’t have to keep doing the meds. Doesn’t sound like Theo is as anxious but breaks my heart when they’re so scared, thought I’d share some of what helped us. He might also have been more attached because you were leaving on a trip. Our animals always seem to sense that and get clingier and kind of mopey.
Benji, du hast auch hübsche Brüder. Der Garten hinter dem Haus könnte wunderschön hergerichtet werden. Doch eben, woher die Zeit dafür nehmen. Ich finde deine bzw. eure Lebensart nachahmenswert. Danke, dass du uns teilhaben lässt.❤😊
I love that you used the Bamboo from your yard to set up your clothesline!!! Have a great time in Vietnam...I hope you vlog a little bit of that and can't wait to see your Kokodama tutorial!
Ooh wonderful video! I'm sure others will tell you, but the golden rule is: peg shirts and t-shirts upside down and peg trousers and jeans from the waist. In this way, the peg marks don't show up as much ❤
8:24 i’ve never seen this angle of the bedroom before while you’re showing off plants but i loved it. this entire video was so peaceful i always love your videos. they’re very grounding
Great Video Benji! The grow wall is so nice. You finally found that wall its purpose. Well done! Enjoyed watching you thrive and enjoying family time in your evolving home.
lil tip. hang the tshirts upside down that way the crease wont be on the shoulders but on the bottom of the tshirts which is easier to iron out and less noticeable
My Viet dad also knows a bunch of knots and I don't know where or how he learned them but they do come in handy too :') like your dad with the clothesline haha
It's great to see that you're using a lot of native plants in your outside space, there's not many people so far doing it, even though it's what our nature needs.
Wow, your upcoming trip to Vietnam sounds like it's going to be quite an adventure! It's wonderful that you'll have the opportunity to reconnect with family and experience a Vietnamese wedding. Your balcony garden updates are always so fascinating to watch, especially seeing how you creatively utilize space and care for your plants. The addition of the new furniture pieces from Songmics seems to have really elevated the functionality and aesthetics of your living space. And it's heartwarming to see your family come together to work on various projects, from setting up the clothesline to planting herbs from your dad's garden. Thanks for sharing these moments with us! Safe travels and looking forward to more updates when you return! 🌿✈🏡
So fun to see your family together! They look fun and kind. I was so excited for a minute when you said that the bamboo was "for the clothing line" because I thought you were going to launch a bamboo fabric Benjiplant t-shirts, etc.! Maybe someday. Your skills, your manner, and your work are so soothing and inspiring to watch. Thank you!
It's been so cool to watch your living room change and evolve since you moved in. I love the practical use of the wall shelf. where did you get the dish for the kokedama?
I struggle with keeping the plants healthy, maybe you can show us how do you water and care about the inside plants? I wonder also if you put some gravel in the pots before adding the soil...the soil in my pots is either too wet either too dry, and get aphids from time to time
I have had enormous success using Bach flower remedies for dogs with fears triggered by thunder, fireworks etc - you could try Mimulus or a mix of Mimulus, Cherry Plum, and Agrimony. Even a few drops in Theo's drinking water while you are away in Vietnam might help. Lovely video. Thank you to your family for taking part - they seem a delightful bunch.
Your videos really give my mind some peace and quiet! Would love to have the same set up of a house as yours in the future! Also woah, Christopher and you look like twins! You also have the same voice! And Nicholas is tall! You're all very good looking as well~ runs in the blood I must say~ Your family looks so sweet, warm and very comforting 🥺💚 sending hugs to all of you! Thank you for the upload, Benji! Looking forward to more videos soon~
cute, i love the clothesline! air drying is way better for the clothes and the environment. clothes on the line makes a garden look lived-in and homey, and it’s really useful for airing out bedsheets and towels between washes. also! i like your choice of music for these videos, and the way it’s mixed is really nicely done. 🥰
I bought this mystery plant from a second hand shop and have been trying to figure out what on earth it was. That was until I saw this video and realised it's a Streptocarpella! I haven't seen another one for sale here in New Zealand. I love it's velvety emerald leaves.
Hi I really love your videos and usually I don’t go up to youtuber’s posts which I’m subscribed to to say this but you really are someone who I get advice from, your posts are really reassuring and calm. Ty
Benji if possible for you and chris you should consider getting theo another chihuahua to be friends with - It might help the clinginess some! chihuahuas are very loyal in nature and want to be around their owner 24/7 however when thats not possible they get lonely as they are social in nature. I used to have one grumpy old man chihuahua named chico for 7 years (he didnt really like other dogs it seemed throughout his life) however 2 years ago I was gifted 3 chihahuahua puppies and instead of sleeping all day in the corner or being clingy he will play with ocean, lua and java on the daily! its beautiful to witness their interactions with each other and healthy for them
We love watching Theo and everything he does. He is absolutely adorable! 🥰 That wind and thunder would have been very scary for him. Luckily he has you two. We love your videos Benji, they’re so calming and wholesome. We especially love it when your family comes to visit. Thank you for sharing those special moments with us all. You are very lucky to have such a close knit family unit. We love how Theo loves his Nana so much and vice versa. 🥰 As usual we eagerly await your next video. Have fun in Vietnam. ❤
Thank you for evoking the memories of clotheslines. Every house I moved into with my mother as a child she would erect a clothesline and one Easter she even hid easter eggs on the rotating clothesline.
Binge watching your videos since morning. For some reason, I feel really relax and it's kinda have a healing moment❤️🩹 NEW SUBSCRIBER from the Philippines 🇵🇭
There is an appropriate version of pot for dogs. In a storm that would be helpful to Theo. Check with your vet especially since he is so tiny. The dosage would have to be right for his size.
All normal glasses offer UV protection. This is why you don’t get sunburned when exposed to sunlight inside a car. It is only special, quite expensive, glasses that let UV light through and they are manufactured for certain specific purposes.
For that old shoe bookcase, some WD-40 should loosen that right up and get rid of the squeak. Also I love what you have done to that "undefined" area ( no longer undefined by the way). Suggest adding a chair for a reading nook but the plants light may be too bright. If you can, run Theo to a vet for a quick check to make sure he is okay. Sometimes animals try to tell us things...... Safe travels to you in Vietnam! 🪴
Hi Benji- I'm a huge fan of your show. You have inspired me to make a Staghorn wall! I am also wondering if you can use a Soltech grow light from underneath a tree shining upward or if that would cause strange growth.
💙💙Benji, Wonderful to see U so bound with your family. My family was so important to me, now they've all gone to join the Lord & I miss them. Have fun & enjoy ur family on Viet Naum. See u when u return.

Benji's parents heal something in my queer little heart. You have a beautiful family
Your home and plants are beautiful, but little Theo is the real star of the show ❤
Next time Christopher is over you should do a segment where he just pretends to be you for a little bit. Don't even say anything about it. Just have him show off some plant or something. You guys look so similar!
They look similar but their voices are so different tho lol
It may sound like a broken record, but your family videos really are heartwarming. The love and respect you have for each other is what our world is sadly missing in homes today.
Clean living
Have you been to ALL the homes in the world? Stop generalizing. Love if EVERYWHERE
The way your mum speaks to Chris at the end feels very like familial and idk how to explain it but the sweet exchange of knowledge between people from different backgrounds is just so nice to see.
What I love most about this vlog is your family connection… I also appreciate mom and dad, squatting down, so flexible, eating their fresh, homemade meal homemade together as a family…❤
Literally my comfort channel.
8:02 I just about died. he curled up into a ball, closed his eyes and just slept. Theo you are the most pure lifeform on this planet
I love how he acts just like a kitty 🥺
I love how your home looks and I love how much Theo gets excited when your mum comes to visit. I hope you and your dad have a terrific time in Vietnam.
We love Theo’s excitement for his Nana too. It’s so cute.
Such wholesome vibes when the family shows up 🥰
this is probably my favorite video of yours. just so heartwarming to see your family enter yours and chris' beautiful home, creating a meal from the fruits of your labor, and the stunning interiors as always

I’ll look into that, thank u!!
You could even try and set it up as a grey water system to use the excess water for the garden (for plants that can handle the water).
in relationships and families there will always be hardships and of course everyone has their ups and downs and you never know what goes on behind the scenes but just by looking at your family and your partner in the videos I have watched I realize the very genuine love that you all look at each other with and the respect of course. It's truly heartwarming
woah Theo really really loves your mom. that was so cute
this is a special channel that brings me a lot of peace
this reduced my cortisol as im studying for the biggest exam of my existence. ty for creating this form of art
Cool video. The bamboo was such a creative idea. It looks so nice with the lights hung up. My chihuahua Pixie is terrified of thunder, fireworks and loud vehicles. I have to give her the natural calming drops when she gets too bad.
4:20 just put few drops of any kind of oil in both side sliders it will help...
So good to see your parents.your father knows how to do everything and I know your mother's food is delicious. Have a safe trip and make lots of videos .
also those typical 'now YOU hold the drill' father-son moments with 'please send help' look on benji's face 😁❤
Beautiful family! 👏👏🤗😚

Ooo też jestem z Polski 🥰
i just love the vibes
Benji, du hast auch hübsche Brüder. Der Garten hinter dem Haus könnte wunderschön hergerichtet werden. Doch eben, woher die Zeit dafür nehmen. Ich finde deine bzw. eure Lebensart nachahmenswert. Danke, dass du uns teilhaben lässt.❤😊
It's so nice to see a family meeting like that, gives me hope somehow. Thanks
Benji!!!!! I loved this so much. It’s so wholesome, serene, and lovely. A great Sunday watch. I hope you enjoy Vietnam!
i love it when you vlog with your family
Your family is so lovely, this was such a nice video. Hope you have fun on your trip!
Theo is precious! Love when your parents visit!
Your dad is so cute. It is really great to have a dad like him!
Your bros look so much like you, especially the younger one; and almost as cute!…🥰
I love that you used the Bamboo from your yard to set up your clothesline!!! Have a great time in Vietnam...I hope you vlog a little bit of that and can't wait to see your Kokodama tutorial!
Ooh wonderful video! I'm sure others will tell you, but the golden rule is: peg shirts and t-shirts upside down and peg trousers and jeans from the waist. In this way, the peg marks don't show up as much ❤
Theo is so adorable. It doesn’t take away from your video. Love as always. I signed up for notification once your passiflora is available.
The father son project was really heartwarming! ❤
8:24 i’ve never seen this angle of the bedroom before while you’re showing off plants but i loved it. this entire video was so peaceful i always love your videos. they’re very grounding
Great Video Benji! The grow wall is so nice. You finally found that wall its purpose. Well done! Enjoyed watching you thrive and enjoying family time in your evolving home.
you have such a lovely family Benji. Hope you have a great time in Vietnam
Beautiful happy family! Thank you for sharing your video.
Yup! As with any family, when the cameras come out, there are the shy ones: 14:03…and the super models: 14:07😊
lil tip. hang the tshirts upside down that way the crease wont be on the shoulders but on the bottom of the tshirts which is easier to iron out and less noticeable
My Viet dad also knows a bunch of knots and I don't know where or how he learned them but they do come in handy too :') like your dad with the clothesline haha
It's great to see that you're using a lot of native plants in your outside space, there's not many people so far doing it, even though it's what our nature needs.
Streptocarpella is so pretty
Sending love to you, Chris, and your whole family.
I love the balcony as a garden/dining area and those spring rolls on steroids looked amazing!
Streptocarpella plant - purple flowering year round plant.

This video was very calm and peaceful! I loved it! thank you!!
such a whimsical vlog i love it
19:28: Oh my goodness! That looks wonderful🤩
Theo knows you are leaving home for some time, that's why he is so clingy. 💜
I struggle with keeping the plants healthy, maybe you can show us how do you water and care about the inside plants? I wonder also if you put some gravel in the pots before adding the soil...the soil in my pots is either too wet either too dry, and get aphids from time to time
It’s great to have handy dad! Cool. Enjoy yr time in Vietnam.

i was binge rewatching your older videos these past few days, love how relaxing your content is
while Benji and his plants are always good content, his family gathering is always wholesome content 👍👍
I love meeting your brothers and seeing your parents again. I love how you all work together. Will you ever do a video of your parents garden?
I bought this mystery plant from a second hand shop and have been trying to figure out what on earth it was. That was until I saw this video and realised it's a Streptocarpella! I haven't seen another one for sale here in New Zealand. I love it's velvety emerald leaves.
you and your parents all sit the same way it’s so cute, hope y’all have a good time in vietnam

Just found this channel and my god I love the way the editing was done.
Thank you for evoking the memories of clotheslines. Every house I moved into with my mother as a child she would erect a clothesline and one Easter she even hid easter eggs on the rotating clothesline.
I’m so happy for you. Peace and love ❤️
Your voice is so sweet and relaxing.

my mom has a smoke tree! they grow super quick and are gorgeous! the 'flowers' do get everywhere though.
