- Calm days of plants, puppies, and family. I propagate some plants, fix a pot (that Chris broke lol), and go home for the weekend. This is Theo's first time at my parent's house and he got to meet my childhood dogs! It was a very sweet visit. Also, I'm going to do a double upload this week :o. I created a cute little video of my time in Florida that I'll post in a few days!

I enjoyed your video from the beginning to the end, without skipping any part. You are a talented storyteller. First time watching your content, have a wonderful spring growing season.
The frog and tiger story of your mom and dad has me like 🥺😭♥️♥️
Your calm pace, tone and story telling is soothing and engaging at the same time … thank you for sharing your passion
Okay I may be dramatic at times but when you said your dad said he was the tiger protecting the frog princess and that it was your mom, I immediately started sobbing
me too
Gold leaf added inside the cracks might be another option when another pot gets knocked over. It like adding a 'gold' lining to a broken pot. ☺
That’s “kintsuki”.
I found it really heartwarming seeing your parents interacting with your boyfriend, even your mom offering to cut his hair just like the rest of you. Gives me hope of one day reaching that point in life.
I live in a canyon and have a collection of plants on my deck facing the canyon, I used to cringe every time strong wind would come through and worry about my plants. I’ve learned that wind actually can strengthen the roots, the ones that have survived are super healthy and strong, thanks for the visit with your family and sharing the love of plants ❤️🌸🪴🌷🌱
Hey u could fix the pot like the Kintsugi way .. would look really cool. Beautiful video as always.✨
i came to the comments to say this!! it would look really beautiful with some kind of metallic material in the cracks :)
@Choupette La Calicotte yup :)
My same thought!
Came to say this too! Benji you already have a very Japanese inspired interior design that I think it would fit very nicely! Another option I’ve thought about it maybe doing it with different materials instead of just gold to get a different look altogether!
I can’t be the only one that likes the broken pot better before it was glued 😂 love the cracked edge!
haha i liked it too, but then i thought ab how sharp the edge was. probably a safety hazard
Benji 🙏😃Gracias x Existir 🙏👍👏👏👏👏🇲🇽
Omgg🙈theo being curious as you put the soil in, but he's too short to see😩💘
Theo is my favourite 😍
@@toreyoldenbourg2053 riiight?!?! Everything he does is so endearing😌🙈
You have no idea how useful is your content for me
Hi, Benji. I just wanted to say that I love your channel and you so much! I have watched all of your videos countless of times and each time you post a new one I watch it straight away. Thank you, you make me feel a lot better just by posting! ♥
I ❤️ the broken fixed pot!
we loved your 1st and 2nd video Chris! Keep em coming!! 😄
Aweee your mom is adorable!!
Theo's little face when Skittles ran away from him 🥹 He just wanted to play! Beautiful video, like always ☀️
i loved everything everywhere all at once too!! such an awesome movie and one of the only “new” movies i have enjoyed in a while… so much so that i wanna get it on dvd and watch it multiple times ha! great video as always!
I am in love how calm your videos are, my life is very chaotic so I find your life and videos very mesmerizing, I also love plants so you make my day every time I watch your videos ☺️🪴💜
What a lovely trip to visit your parents I hope your trip to Florida is just as beautiful and wonderful as well.
I actually love the cracks! It gives it character ♡
I was just thinking about you, you are literally a blessing

Thank you for making these chill videos, your voice makes it feel like the world is ok. :)
Thanks benji. I love your video . Thanks for sharing. You are so nice🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I like how the cracked pot looks like, more antique and unique.
love your calm vibe🥰🥰
Your content is just like medicine to my heart, it’s so cozy and welcoming..💕💕🤍
Hello benjiplant I like watching vidéo and wonderful nature
The relaxation is back 😌🤌🪴
My life was perfectly fine 12 minutes ago before RUclips recommended your channel. Now, I'm profoundly sad that I don't know you in real life. Your whole vibe is so calm and peaceful. I think the plants speak to you on a spiritual level lol. I subscribed
Also careful with the epoxy, it's a bit toxic. 😳
Thanks for this new video, so calming, just in time before monday:) I love the idea with the old camera btw!
Nice haircut! Wow your dad’s plant collection is growing pretty quickly! They all look really good too. So cool that you put the pot back together!
you amazing ... such a calm and kind voice. love all your plants.
Those pots are beautiful, food looks good too. Nice haircut 👌.
Omg yall i dont think you know how much this vid made my day 😁😁😁
Hi Benji, I wanted to let you know that I bought some New Zealand sphagnum moss to regenerate. I bought the exact brand that you recommended and rehydrated and put in a glass jar. I then put it under my grow light on March 17, 2022 and now it is finally showing some bright green. I heard you say that there were some doubters out there, but you just have to be patient. I'm so excited. I followed your directions and now it's starting to show some bright green. Hurray, and thank you for your ideas. Love your videos. By the way, I live in Las Vegas, not the best growing conditions. Driest place in the U.S., but trying my best.
Scratched stuff with a history behind them is the best :)
So cute, tiger and frog. Omg, love you ❤
6:05 its so lush💖💖💖
I love to watch your videos in the morning while eating breakfast. I dont know why but theyre so motivating and keep me productive lol!
I love your content every time you post my day is made 🥰
Ohh It made me so happy seeing you eating loquats! I'm from Comunidad Valenciana in Spain, and in my village we basically make a living from growing them! We call them nísperos or nyespros 😉🥰
so sweet to see theo getting along with the other doggies c:
always a heartwarming video 💚
i really enjoy watching your videos, your plant collection has glown up! i know that you don't have many succulents/cacti but i'd love to hear about your care routine and repotting situation. thank you for making videos
it's amazing how you create such a comforting moment in your videos, it's so beautiful :")
...I would like to see a vlog from you someday.. ♡
Theo is the cutest!
It’d be amazing if you could do a logistics video like how to prevent/get rid of fungus gnats or how to water plants when away on a long trip :] Your videos have been such a place of healing for me these days 😌
Love the calm vibe in your videos, also we have some just naturally wild virginia creeper, and it loves stonework and walls, but it will leave little grabbies so just make sure you're ok with that ~thumbs up~
Realxing video ever found on RUclips and all was so good=)
I love how calming your videos are. Thanks for sharing!
This was so pleasant to watch💚
So I discovered benjiplant this morning, and just spent all day with you in the background. Love your content, I can listen to you talk about plants all day! I'll probably watch all your videos by the end of the day.
Theao is the cutest!!!!! Love your fam!!
I like the music, the video, the editing and Benji's voice. Don't mind your hair benji, you look cute
11:46 just an idea if you're interested: you can wrap the top of the pot (where it's broken) with the jute thread !
♡
family goals! a really lovely video
I took a chance and ordered pots online and 2 out of 5 broke. I was wondering if I could somehow fix them. Thanks for the inspiration! I'll probably try kintsugi or something that looks like it. Also, Theo is so cuuute! Your mom's right, he does look like Timon!
your dorstenia is so cute! mine is about the same size but it has more foliage and it’s in full bloom! before it looked like a bush but now it looks like a ball of flowers!! also you have no need to worry about the dorstenia getting sun damaged. i live in the middle east and mine takes 50°C weather like a champ, so your’s will do well! 🤩
that’s good to know! i suppose i mostly worry about the pot and soil getting too hot. It’s in a black pot and the pot was very hot to the touch which i imagine isn’t great for the roots. I need to find a better location for it where the pot doesn’t receive direct sun!
It’s gonna be like 70° in Oregon also the cracked pot looks cool now
Your videos give me life!!!
The Virginia Creeper will take directly to the soil, rapidly, acidic soil, and will creep, and climb, and cling, and at some point, if allowed, take over... as will the lovely Wisteria...both are very fast growers, and sneaky...creeping along across the lawn for any opportunity to climb....love them both, but they do have a mind to grow like craaaaazzzzeeee :) enjoy!
Yay Happy to see you propping the Passaflora! I have been looking to buy one since you first showed yours. Hope it makes it to your etsy :)
I really enjoyed this video lovely and charming
Very nice Vlog
Hi Benji! The broken pot looks unique with cracks.
Word of warning on the Wisteria it’s gets really big an strong, it’s been known too destroy trees, fences, ect it gets huge!! Don’t know if yours is a smaller hybrid. PS enjoy your trip.
Yes, most people recommend very sturdy trellises or structures for them to climb... so my flimsy net trellis isn't the best haha. I'm planning to let it grow through the summer and then cut it back because they lose their leaves in fall/winter anyway. Then I'll find a more suitable spot for it. I just chose the wisteria for now because it grows fast and has a lot of foliage to block the direct sun for summer. My room has a large west-facing window so last year it made summer afternoons very hot lol. I'm looking into other plant options for the future like dutchman pipe or maybe an air potato plant.
@@benjiplant I should of known you already knew that. One of the prettiest Wisteria I ever saw was trained into a tree form. If your Virginia Creeper doesn’t propagate I have plenty I can dig up. 💚
You should make a video about the nurseries you enjoy and/or would suggest! I visited Yamaguchi today because of you!
Yamaguchi is great! I actually met a subscriber there when I went in this video haha. I haven't been to many others in LA actually. There is a place called Tropics inc thats incredibly beautiful, but it's one of those places that doesn't have a price tag on anything so I assume its very expensive. I treat it more as a show room than a plant shop.
Your videos are free therapy
I hope you have a safe trip to Florida!! I enjoyed the video and oh I'd love to find a cutting of that passafloria vine I just love it so unique 😍💖and my goodness could that sweet little Theo get any more precious just too flippin precious ❤ your mom is very pretty your parents seem like lovely folk and that's so cute your moms been the only one to cut your hair awe I'm a hair dresser also and I've been the only one to cut my kids hair the last 17 & 14 years also so I thought that was too cute !!
You 100% will be able to grow Virginia creeper there. I have a vine that is growing up my 2 story house that I need to cut. They are weeds where I live. I think this one got planted at one point by the previous owners but it's messing up my stucco.
THE GRIMES MERCHH!!💜💜💜💜
This is the best video I love it!!
💚 for Theo
You gotta fill the pot cracks with gold ✨ like kintsugi
Why this vid is so calming
I was in Los Angeles this week, i just got back home ( MA ) today. I was disappointed when i heard you'd gone to florida :(
Yay i love wisteria so much
I love the family 😭😭😂
You should try Kintsugi for that pot :)
Hello bro, I have a question for you. How did you make your little pond in your balcony? I want to make one in my backyard, could you please give me some tips? Thanks 🙏
I think you should try Kintsugi to fix the pot. It’s essentially an expression of Wabi-Sabi. The Japanese philosophy of embracing all the imperfect and impermanent aspects of both nature & life. Kintsugi uses a decorative repair technique to fill the damaged item (usually pottery) with a decorative filler (usually gold lustre). You can find kits online.
I typed this out once already but RUclips deleted it for some reason.
I think the broken vase look better with the "natural" look caused by gravity damage lol. it might just make a nice natural looking accented pot.
You should keep the back of the vase facing forward I think its much more unique and beautiful.
Ah d'accord votre amour au plante est héréditaire ^^
Cool ♡
i just noticed u were wearing a grimes shirt!!!! literally slayed
Hi Benji, have you considered using shade cloth during hot month’s for your patio plants?
Crazy that you're going to try and grow Virgina creeper as a houseplant. In the Midwest it's superr invasive, it chokes out entire forests. If it can survive the heat, it could easily grow like crazy : )
I think what would be really cool was if you painted/added gold to the cracked pieces!
👍👍
Very nice 😍😍
weathered and cracked pots are always prettier and have more character anyway
Skittles sees Theo as her baby
damn it chris!
Super, serdeczne pozdrowienia z lasu! 😊🌳🌲🙂:)
