Without really knowing you or Chris...just on an energetic level...you both are such beautiful people. We need much more gentleness and kindness in this world and you both are the epitome of that. Don't ever lose that.
I am on my way to my dorm room, crying a little through the way because I miss my mom but then your video pops up making me feel like my mom's warmth again (she's a huge plant person) thank you benji💌
I struggle so much with anxiety so to fall asleep at night i try to do things that makes me calm and feel safe, ive noticed your videos help me a lot with that, so thank u for these videos
You’re truly a constant source of inspiration benji, because of your videos I got the idea to expand my yard and start my own patio garden, you have the greatest taste!
Hey just a little idea for you for your balcony and keeping your plants safe, you COULD build a little "catio" just enclosing that space a little bit. That way nothing can get in, you can still have the freedom to look out and what not but sun can get in, the animals stay safe and your plants also stay safe since nothing could get in~! PLUS it could give you a few spots for plants higher up (Like hanging plants on the netting, making little shelves etc.)
@@benjiplant I think it would be very worth it with your father being manual! Iv seen a few of them being made of pvc pipes or bamboo sticks as well, dosnt need to be bulky lumber~
@@benjiplanthen manure works to keep chipmunks and squirrels out of garden beds! We use it at work to protect our bulbs from being eaten by them. Only thing is it’s a little stinky
I dont know how it happens that every time I have a 24h shift I just arrive home and see you have uploaded a new video. This is so rewarding after all that work I am really thankful for it!
Benji... When you were talking about how much you love the fall weather... that view of the palm trees was incredible! The view of the palms and the other trees/plants was absolutely gorgeous! I love your home and all the beauty that surrounds it.
I love how diverse euphorbias are!! They're one of the few groupings where all the plants under that umbrella look completely different, and have very different needs.
I wish I could come to your lovely little stall at the market. I'm from New Zealand, so it's a bit far😢. Your habitat scaping has been great teachings for me. I have done quite a few with my cacti and succulents.
I put the U shaped landscape staples in my pots and boxes - upside down and sticking up from the soil - to deter the squirrel digging. We, too, are surrounded by trees and it’s a constant battle! I still find a peanut buried every once in a while but it does help! (And it’s inexpensive! Always good - more plant money!)
Benji I'm looking forward to your plant market pop up in Nov.... I have mobility issues and I'm hoping it won't be chaotic and I can meet you and make a purchase or so. I doubt if you have to worry about small crowd.... or whether you're gonna sell out, ...Social media Influencers on your level are treated like celebrities especially in LA... I usually get push around so I no longer attend certain events . Best success to you
🍂🏠🎃🍁🍂☕ My Mom loved playing in her Garden & every once a month when the gardeners leave, I always tell them, "U made my Mom happy 2day." My dad loved his Fruit trees. I enjoyed ur video 2day & watching ur pets play 2gether. Have a great week Benji 🏠🌳
I was at a market yesterday and someone was selling kokedama plants. I was so close to getting one until I noticed the string of dolphins had mealies! I wanted to cry! So thankful I didn’t bring that home.
Loved this Benji! Thankyou! You are such a Talented Guy! Do you have to sterilize the rocks you broke up for your plants? Do they harbor any nasty little Pests that would harm the plants? I Love seeing Chris and Theo and Winnie❤❤❤ Thankyou! 🤗🐾🌿
I wish I could go to the event to see you, take a pic with you, and buy your plants. I hope from Kyoto, Japan, that you will have a good time with nice local people and many plant lovers at the event.😊
The Hawaiian Snow Bush roots very easily from cuttings. I like making lil forest scenes with them and small ground cover plants, like string of frogs, turtles, thyme, rocks, driftwood, etc
It sounds weird but blood powder/meal works well for repelling squirrels, especially ones that have lots of spicy pepper powder mixed in. You have to reapply once and awhile but it works very well. Sometimes it can attract flies. You could always try the spicy pepper powder first to see (cayenne maybe? I forget what they exactly use) There are some pellet varieties out there too. Then you don't have to build an unattractive contraption, although it probably wouldn't save berries from birds. It will definitely stop the digging. Ask me how I know 😂
Whenever you grow berries, you HAVE to put a net over them…crucial! Love your vids and I love seeing sunny Cali while I’m freezing on the east coast haha
I have loved your vibe and channel for such a long time. Thank you for helping me bring beautiful plants into my own spaces…… PS please be careful, many of your plants may be toxic for your kitty. Winnie seems curious about every thing…….
Hola que lindas quedaron las plantas es una lástima que vivamos muy retirados espero que tengas mucha suerte yo pienso que si las venderás y las macetas están bien hermosas😊❤❤
GOD!!! I just love your little home, especially outside in the gardens. It’s just the right mix of cottage core and fairy magic, along with the beauty of the natural greenery and landscaping… Ughhhh, it’s just breathtaking, especially in the morning. I’d definitely LOVE to buy some of your plants if you ever decide to ship. The combos of the unique plants with the handmade bowls are GORGEOUS!! NAME YOUR PRICE! ❤ 9:55 that tree lamp is STUNNING!
Hi Benji, the plant you called an Australian Tree Fern looks like a Ponga Fern, which are endemic to New Zealand (my home country). We have them all over our property and love the canopy the create! Maybe worth looking into
I had squirrels absolute destroy all the plants on my balcony including a san pedro cactus which they consumed nearly the whole thing and came back for more! San Pedro cacti are psychedelic for anyone wondering...
I reckon they're gonna sell really quickly. Maybe take some of those seed pods with you too. I think people would like those too. (Well, l would anyway.) ❤❤❤
My daughter and I just went to the International Aroid Plant Expo in Miami, Florida and had a blast! So many beautiful plants and so many beautiful people! Met some incredible international plant UA-cam Stars! Was able to buy a few gorgeous plants within my price range! Many were so rare and exhorbitantly expensive but just to see them in person was joy enough for me ! Did not see any kokedamas. I would like to buy one from you. Would you ship to Florida? And what are your price range? I am an avid subbie of yours.
Aw, man. I wish I could go to the market and buy your plants! Beautiful job, and I love the wing of the kitchen. Adorable. Also, who else was drooling over those Hasami pots? Benji has a whole closet full! 🤦♀Where's a good place to find Kinto or Hasami pots Benji?
Without really knowing you or Chris...just on an energetic level...you both are such beautiful people. We need much more gentleness and kindness in this world and you both are the epitome of that. Don't ever lose that.
So true, very important words
You truly live in a dream house. It's so curated and eclectic, yet still very realistic. Very inspiring!

omg i love the reveal of the L shaped kitchen, i've been wondering where all your gadgets and tableware go!! miracle solved haha
I cant believe your videos are free, I feel like I have to pay to watch this😄
i think sitting through commercials is the equivalent of that.
@@aiai-j7i still not enough for me, his videos are too precious to be free to watch😄
I am on my way to my dorm room, crying a little through the way because I miss my mom but then your video pops up making me feel like my mom's warmth again (she's a huge plant person) thank you benji💌
the amount of calm and happiness your videos bring me is unparalleled

That would be a dream! I'll need to look into how to set one up. The balcony is quite large... maybe I'll ask my dad to do it with me lol
this would also solve the squirrel problem!!! @benjiplant

Your videos are so so calming and nice to relax to ALWAYS

Omg my cat was sitting with me, and when Winnie and Theo started playing, my cat jumped up and ran to the TV! She wants to join the fun!
Just wanted to say that I loved the relaxed way of updating us on everything, whilst u were repotting (around 13:53). Keep doing what u do Benji😊🌱
I dont know how it happens that every time I have a 24h shift I just arrive home and see you have uploaded a new video. This is so rewarding after all that work I am really thankful for it!
You are such a hard working person 😊
What a life you have.... I wish I could just play with my plants and thinking about plants. You have a great house (interior)...Very good taste.
Benji... When you were talking about how much you love the fall weather... that view of the palm trees was incredible! The view of the palms and the other trees/plants was absolutely gorgeous! I love your home and all the beauty that surrounds it.
You have such a quaint garden I love it so peaceful
Too
This is really cozy, love your channel so much

I could listen to you say "Kokidama" for all of time

Beautiful, you need your own tv show 😊 soothing as I'm watering my plants in Vietnam 🤗
so calm and healing
You will definitely sell a lot of plants!
Lovely video.. I Loved the butterflies too in the beginning 🦋 I love plants and gardening too, it really is my happy place.. Have a beautiful day 🌸
Very cool, love all the plants 🪴, thanks for sharing.
Great to see another Video Benji ❤🎉
Hardwire cloth works well for squirrels and rodents. Fun to see Winnie enjoying the balcony.❤
Try sprinkling bonemeal every few weeks for squirrel deterrence. It works for me but if I forget they come back and dig up or munch on everything
Hi Benji, so nice to see you & Theo & Winnie today. That Australian fern tree is amazing. Wish I could go to the market event!
Benji I'm looking forward to your plant market pop up in Nov....

Always enjoy your videos; very calming and inspirational.
Those are beautiful plants.
Ohhh! Pretty ferns! Nothing more satisfying than a Facebook marketplace find.
Love your plants and the pots
🍂🏠🎃🍁🍂☕

I was at a market yesterday and someone was selling kokedama plants. I was so close to getting one until I noticed the string of dolphins had mealies! I wanted to cry! So thankful I didn’t bring that home.
Your plant and pots are art! Wish you were closer so i can get these art plants from you Benji
3:50, benji, I swear these shot framings could win you an Oscar
The 🩷 pink flower at the back was beautiful 🎉.
So peaceful
i bought my tickets to the night market! i didn’t know you were gonna be there so that’s even more exciting 🤩 i hope to buy a plant
I really miss your rudsta greenhouse 😩
I have the same quilt! I am excited to see it featured here 💙
love the quilt! can you share where you purchased it from?
@agonnza I found it on etsy!
to stop squirrels digging up beds you can put stones/rocks around the plants as they don't like the feeling of them on their feet
Loved this Benji! Thankyou! You are such a Talented Guy!
Do you have to sterilize the rocks you broke up for your plants? Do they harbor any nasty little Pests that would harm the plants?
I Love seeing Chris and Theo and Winnie❤❤❤
Thankyou! 🤗🐾🌿
just got my first kokedama because of you! thank you for the inspiration 🫶
For deterring squirrels, I like to sprinkle cayenne pepper on the soil!
I wish I could go to the event to see you, take a pic with you, and buy your plants. I hope from Kyoto, Japan, that you will have a good time with nice local people and many plant lovers at the event.😊
thank you for another wonderful video
I'm so jealous! I'm going to miss this event by 3 days!! I would have loved to meet you, Benji, and purchase one of your creations!
I love these sorts of videos they are so relaxing and aesthetic

Sending my parents to the 88 rising night market for their 28 year anniversary :)
Loved the Chris and pet cameos in this video, also your garden looks so magical 😍💕❤️
Just what I needed today.
Love your plant videos , so relaxing

SO exited for the new vid!!!!
Good Morning Lovely!
Definitely get a chip in Winnie if she doesn’t have one already. Cats will find a way to disappear into outdoors.
she's chipped!
Would really like for you to show off your money plant
❤❤❤❤ so excited
Love your videos.
Your dog is so cute.

Sorry for all the add-ons, I just have so much to say as the video goes on. Lol

My god Benji has posted!
I had squirrels absolute destroy all the plants on my balcony including a san pedro cactus which they consumed nearly the whole thing and came back for more! San Pedro cacti are psychedelic for anyone wondering...
Such a wonderful video ❤
HAHAH I love how you call out Theo and Winnie to come downstairs like little kids
The squirrels are probably burying nuts and stuff. Maybe give them a little planter full of dirt.
so relax
*sorry the previous text was for another utuber...
Love these plants Benji ✨
Im sure people will buy all!!
💚🌵🍀🌿💚
Beautiful place💛💚💛💚💛
I seee new coffeee machine 👀 congrats you guys ✨
Wish I could mail order your plants to NJ. Love your beautiful styling!
A dog and cat playing is so wholesome. Was Winnie always that playful with Theo?
amazing terrace
I reckon they're gonna sell really quickly.
Maybe take some of those seed pods with you too. I think people would like those too. (Well, l would anyway.) ❤❤❤
I think you could do a wire cage for the squirrels
Genuine question: Are you color-grading or does your garden just naturally looks so coloful?
Beautiful! 🦋

Love that you have California natives!! I just went to Tree of Life in San Juan Capistrano, have you been?!?
Wish I lived nearby 😭 would've loved to meet you! Love your videos btw,Chris's as well🫶🏻
It was extremely hot in Frisco last week.
im not familiar with the tree with seedpods name in english, but if its what i believe it is, those seeds are delicious to eat as a snack. lol
Hi there, can you give an update on your IKEA cabnet? Since you moved to the house, it was never mentioned again.
I want to send you some starfish cactus cuttings. So beautiful when they bloom nd the easiest plant I've ever had.
