What a Sunday treat! Soft spoken Benji with Winnie and Theo chasing each other in the background had me rolling on the floor. Didn’t know where to direct my attention. It couldn’t have been more perfect if you had planned it. Loved the video.
Catch rain water , or leave your town water in a bucket or bowl for 24 to 48 hrs , that gives it enough time to evaporate all the chemicals out . Loved this video, thank you for sharing and thank you to your fur babies for sharing there time ❤
I started watching your videos in 2021 when I was feeding my daughter late at night and needed something calming… now I’m doing the same with my son and his name is Benji! 💚 hopefully he picks something up and becomes a great gardener one day 🤞
Thank you for this tutorial Benji! I can't wait to make a kokedama with a little indoor bonsai. I feel like my platycerium mounting skills have prepared me for this day lol
Thank you for this well thought out and explained tutorial. It is so lovely to see such a well spoken young man doing positive, creative, informative high-value content. And your fur babies were the icing on the cake. I just got 2 kittens 2 weeks ago after one of my older cats passed and the ensuing chaos is just so funny!
i gotta start the video over cause i realized i was just watching the little babies in the background like one of those baby stim videos. i loved the video i had never thought about planting flowers other than aroids indoors and pantie hose are an amazing tip
What a beautiful way to care for and keep plants! How do you care for kokedamas if you need to be away for a week/two? Can you put it temporarily in a terrarium, or is there a way to ensure it won't dry out when traveling?
I sometimes put them in plastic grocery bags or large plastic containers. Anything to keep the humidity! Whenever I come back, the moss always looks better than I left it
This was so good, the kitty and dog play was very enjoyable. Theo really has taken to that kitty so well, seems like they are just old friends. Your detailed step by step on building the Kokedama was perfect!
I have made four of these and my house has mini blinds I cannot remove so I went online to Walmart and ordered tension rods and white sheers the length of the windows and popped in the tension rods with the sheers behind the blinds. I can then keep the blinds opened all the way but the light if filtered from the sheers. It also gives a softened glow into the rooms from the bright white of the sheers. Both the tension rods and sheer curtains were super cheap and a great filter. I have one staged in a blue danube teacup on a saucer.
Zero Water brand filter for the win! I’ve had one of the pitchers for years and I really notice the difference in taste, and use for my sensitive plants because it removes chlorine and TDS. Definitely has paid for itself many times over vs buying packaged filtered water. I see them on FB marketplace too pretty often. That and I water my plants with fish tank water and they love it. Already conditioned and fertilized. But now I have too many plants!
kokedama's stick to me bc in my childhood my grandmother used to make a lot of kokadamas, and always was teaching me ab them. this really reminds me of that memory. it'ss so nice! thank u
Thanks for the lovely tutorial ❤ Personally I really liked the rock as a base 😊 I’ll see if I can convince my daughter to make one with me, it seems like a perfect activity for the fall ☺️
I absolutely love this video. Thank you so much! I’ve never seen these before. I have been a plant person since I was 8 years old mostly growing cacti and succulents. Now I grow mostly caudiciforms. But I’m going to try making a couple of these and see if they do ok here in New Mexico where I live. It is pretty dry here, so it will be interesting to see if they will thrive in this environment.
Thank you so much for this! Living in the eastern Midwest, folks don’t do much like this around here. I’ve always been interested in how the kokedama (spelling is wrong, I’m sure)are put together. Might make a couple of my own! Thanks again, Benji!
Thank you for the tutorial I normally make Ikebana for friends at Christmas but have been thinking of making Kokedama having now watched you will definitely be making Kokedama's as gifts this coming Christmas. Your home reminds me of the Eames House by Charles & Ray Eames both beautiful. x Im British so we always end with a X
The beginning of this video is me trying to survive 2024: just calmly focus on what you know and love, WHILE CHAOS REIGNS 😅😭😂 and kokodama seem cool as hell 💚
Hi Benji! This is going to become another favorite video! YOU do make it look very easy! Question, where do you get your star grass, locally, or online? ty
Thank you for this well organized tutorial. Though I love kokedama, I live in San Diego about 10 miles inland, no air conditioning, west&east facing windows, under a sun that loves to hang out in the west facing windows and chat for about 5 hours (oh hey tree, I see you're having ice cream for lunch today! want me to warm that up for you?) So I've been unable to provide the plants that require high moisture/shade what they need most. I feel like I might be able to have a few in the east facing windows. I appreciate all the information you generously provided. I have hope...
Loved this video! I recently made my first one and wished I had this video to guide me. Quick question: would the moss at the bottom of the ball die since it is facing down and against the bowl/saucer? I love your channel Benji! Thank you!!
Great video, I'm excited to try this! I know you mentioned thrift stores for display bowls/plates, would love to know more about where else you source your display vessels
This is amazing, Benji!! Other kokedama tutorials I've seen all use soil - which is really messy. QUESTION - can decomposed granite be used instead of the akadama? I sift DG for my succulent soil mix and save the larger pieces for topsoil, which are about the same size as the akadama. I'm worried it would be too heavy. So would using some vermiculite work for retention and to lighten it? It would be nice to use what I already have. I'm not able to find a good answer on Google yet 😅. Thanks for the great video!
Hello Benji, I loved your video. I live in Switzerland and there is moss growing in the forest. One can also find moss growing on walls by the parks, especially when it rains a lot.

winnie and theo being chaotic in the background of benji’s relaxing vids will never not be hilarious
😊

Winnie and Theo attacking the plant was so adorable
Not only did you completely educate me concerning Kokedama but your home is alive with the addition of the four legged beasts. Thank you.
Benji, I wanted to pay close attention to this particular video of yours, I'm super interested in making one. BUT Theo and Winnie have me
What a Sunday treat! Soft spoken Benji with Winnie and Theo chasing each other in the background had me rolling on the floor. Didn’t know where to direct my attention. It couldn’t have been more perfect if you had planned it. Loved the video.
🤩 You've just raised the bar on houseplants. Beautiful, calming creations. Definitely going to try this ❤

The moss ball plants are really pretty, and that kitty is so cute, thank you. Nice job on the demo of the process!
The mesh bag technique makes it so much simpler! Now im thinking of making a few as xmas gifts
it exam season rn and benji's video's calms my nerves :)
Best of luck with your exams! ✨
Insane that I was adding kokedama supplies to my Amazon as this was posted
your devices know what algorithm you enjoy & remember what you type, sorta crazy to think about.
@@blazedbabe333mostly creepy
Thank you for this tutorial Benji! I can't wait to make a kokedama with a little indoor bonsai. I feel like my platycerium mounting skills have prepared me for this day lol
What a pleasant young person this boy is!
Perfect Sunday, putting on a new benji video and decorating for fall💚

Delightful video, glad UA-cam recommended it to me! I'm gonna be making one of these as soon as I get the moss in!
Thank you for sharing. Those are beautiful and they are so zen.
The video quality keeps getting better and better. Love these tutorials and def gonna be trying this out soon. Thanks!
Excellent video. Thank you. You are a great teacher. And Winnie and Theo are adorable.

I’m so glad I just stumbled on your channel. I’m going to give this a try I love moss and I LOVE PLANTS thank you so much
This was very well thought out and clear. Thank you so much!
Can we get a carnivorous plant update?
You could also use cheesecloth to hold the substrate.
This was so good, the kitty and dog play was very enjoyable. Theo really has taken to that kitty so well, seems like they are just old friends. Your detailed step by step on building the Kokedama was perfect!
Winnie is stealing the show
Благодарю, благодарю, благодарю ❤❤❤ Очень гармонично !
I hope banji knows the joy the intro music makes me feel and the calm the outro makes me feel
00:51-00:53: Whoa, Winnie
😮🥹😂
having my evening sweet treat and sparkly drink while watching this. O am feeling very joyful lol
omg its sunday again already??YAYYY
OMG!!!! I love this video. The cat and dog adorable 🥰
Loved the video, thanks so much! I truly felt inspired and like you said, there seem to be endless possibilities.
Wow…very educational. Got my first kokedama (expensive) and your instructions will be very helpful. Than you!
Hello from the Philippines 🇵🇭 thank you so much for doing this tutorial for us. 🙏❤
omg!! the background with the curtain looks absolutely stunning!!! ✨️
This was so fun to watch! Thanks!
I have made four of these and my house has mini blinds I cannot remove so I went online to Walmart and ordered tension rods and white sheers the length of the windows and popped in the tension rods with the sheers behind the blinds. I can then keep the blinds opened all the way but the light if filtered from the sheers. It also gives a softened glow into the rooms from the bright white of the sheers. Both the tension rods and sheer curtains were super cheap and a great filter. I have one staged in a blue danube teacup on a saucer.
Nice trick with the bag
Thank you so much Benji for simplifying this process, I have hypnum growing already 🙏 ❤🎉
Beautiful, these would be wonderful Xmas gifts!
I love Theo & Winnie, they’re great. I see Winnie is the instigator 😂. Your Kokedoma’s are gorgeous

Yessss I’ve been waiting for this one!! Literally just started propagating moss two days ago. Thanks Benji! ☺️
Theo & Winnie are too funny!!💚💚

This is so useful cuz I'm finally getting into gardening 😆 love the way you talk about kokedamas hehe

so calming ☺
Could you do a video on where to get moss and how to propagate/care for it? :) like in between projects
Love this, thank you
You’re great! Loved this so much 😊
I love this! I think I can make an aquatic version for my fishtank
Aquatic ones are called wabi kusa! Definitely check them out. I started making wabi kusa before I made kokedama
So interesting, thanks, and I just subscribed. I have a feeling I could learn a lot from you. 🎉❤
The beginning of this video is me trying to survive 2024: just calmly focus on what you know and love, WHILE CHAOS REIGNS 😅😭😂 and kokodama seem cool as hell 💚
Oh I so gonna do this for my house
Great presentation - I’ll try it soon 🙏
The cat and dog are so cute 😍
Gorgeous❣️ Very naive video! 🙏💙🙏
The plant project I didn’t know I needed to tackle! 😍😅😅
Hi Benji! This is going to become another favorite video! YOU do make it look very easy! Question, where do you get your star grass, locally, or online? ty
I purchased mine through Etsy!
thank you so much for the video, can't wait to make my own
I’m convinced Benji is the creator of moss
Awesome!
Hi Benjiplant Great video. I am excited to try it.
Benji postttt aaaa viideeooo I’m gonna have an amazing Monday 🤩🤩🤩

I had no idea that nandina’s could be grown indoors. I have 3 different varieties outside, they’re so pretty! I’m going to try one indoors! 💚
Loved this video! I recently made my first one and wished I had this video to guide me. Quick question: would the moss at the bottom of the ball die since it is facing down and against the bowl/saucer? I love your channel Benji! Thank you!!
Yeah, normally the moss at the bottom browns after a couple weeks/months. I haven't had it be an issue though!

Sir, im in love with your channel. Have good day.
Hello. I just found your channel. I like it
Very good instructions! Thanks
What a well made video!
This guy is crazy!!!!!!
Beautiful job, I’ll try it and so excited for these next Wednesday when I will receive one of your Passiflora Colinvauxil 🎉🎉🎉❤️
Omg that’s so beautiful
awesome !
Hello Benji, I loved your video. I live in Switzerland and there is moss growing in the forest. One can also find moss growing on walls by the parks, especially when it rains a lot. Do you think that moss would be suitable to make a Kokedama?, The problem is, I have no clue at what type of moss it is.
Can I ask you where you got your pots/trays? I can't even find something similar somehow . Loved the video and I'm planning on making one too 😚.
