Plant Diaries | my first commission, moss terrariums, plant swap
Calm days in my life. I got my first commission for a terrarium from the amazing artist pearfleur :o I'm pretty excited for this because I've always wanted to be an artist and commissions feel very "artist-y" to me haha. I hosted another plant swap, but this time at a coffee shop and my parents were able to make it! It was amazing to meet so many of you again :)
best,
benji

Sorry but as an artist who hears this question a lot, i had to pause the video the second you were questioning if you should call yourself an artist, to write this comment. YESSS! You are such an artist! You create, arrange, express, iterate, imagine, share, appreciate. All the basic elements that drive us to do what we do. You are an artist. Your medium is nature, and your content conveys a lot. Keep crushing it!

you are absolutely an artist. you've created a beautiful collection and space, you create with intention, you create with freedom.. you create! and you also inspire others to create, which to me is inherent to being an artist :)
A baby creates art. A child draws a pic. They are so proud of there work. We see scribbles but they see a creation. Its art A mud pie is art
Hello! This vlog was supposed to come out before the one I just previously posted, so the events in the video are around early-mid December. There were some delays due to the holidays, but here it finally is! p.s. my next video is going to be about my pots and ceramics :)
Ahhh Pear Fleur has such a beautiful KZread channel also!!! Love that you connected with them :) all art is art ❤️

Pear Fleur is seriously amazing. They make me want to get back into painting, and thank u ned
This channel is pure serotonin ❤️
Yes what you do is art!!! (coming from a classical oil painter and sculptor 💕)
What you do is 100% art, and it’s wonderful!! 💚🤍
These videos really are something. Seeing all the lovely moments that Benji shows in these videos gives me motivation to go out into the world and have my own! Thank you!
As a fellow Asian (British born with FOB Vietnamese/Cambodian parents). I love how supportive your parents are. I’ve fallen in love with them! Your dad positively surprises me all the time even though it shouldn’t! Xxxxx
If a person has seen even one of your videos, there will be no doubt in his/her mind that you ARE an artist. You create beautiful work. You create beautiful vibes.
Hello artist here, you are definitely an artist! Different artists use different mediums and I find yours unique and beautiful. I believe that what you create holds meaning and that’s what art is!
You absolutely are an artist! Your "canvas" are your plants, and your home. How you display your plants. Your aquariums are pieces of art, with water and the tank being your medium. The way you landscaped your balcony is art. Your photography is art. Your choice of music for the videos is art. You are an incredibly talented artist, who has not limited himself to just one type of art. I have just accidentally stumble across your channel this evening, and have been watching several different videos for the past 4 or 5 hours! You have given me much to think about, and much inspiration for how to display my own "green babies". You have also just inspired me to venture into another "habitat" for plants...water. OMGosh, the possibilities.... :) I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight, my mind is already whirling with idea at 100 mph. THANK YOU for the very relaxing, informative and inspiring videos!!!
ive been feeling shit these past few days but watching your vids is just 🥺🥺🥺❤❤ theres comfort in listening you talk about the things you love and it makes me want to cry happy tears. thank you so much ❤🌱
As someone that's been watching both yours and PearFleur's content for a while now, this collaboration feels so refreshing, it's like my two worlds colliding lol! Much love to you both
Your an artist, your a comfort to people for different reasons and your a Beautiful person and that's Priceless 💛🧡💛🧡🧡🧡 Thanks for all you do Benji💖💖💖💖
Saying this as a graphic designer/illustrator/creative, You are ABSOLUTELY an artist. Art is an extremely broad term so please don’t feel bad using it to define who you are and what you create! 😊
the essence of art I think is supposed to make people feel and your whole channel is just feels on feels for days,from the plants themselves to the arrangement, video editing,bgm,you,and pear fleur is an amazing artist, and artist asking another artist for their artwork, I am here for, art is forever changing, so I guess labels will come in for people who work with plants as their medium of art, benji you're gonna be there too,much love.
I was having a pretty rough and bad day but your videos always brighten my day and I could not stop smiling throughout the whole video. Your videos are just so calming and give me nothing but pure Serotonin. I want to thank you for that. Also, I would absolutely consider you an artist! You create these wonderful videos and inspire people. THAT IS ART.
You can absolutely call yourself an artist bc, I think being artistic is being creative, passionate, love it, and you going your way to make projects of/with it. You really love what you do and thats the most important thing with being an artist. Artist can come from all forms.
You are definitely an artist. You have a definite sense of design. The way you display your plants is awesome! Love your videos. Your balcony is awesome! 🥰👍🪴🌱🎋🍃🌾🌿
Oh my, your dog is like my dog, love to play with toys and all the quirks of a part Heeler! Love the vidoes of plants keep it coming.
Oh I love watching your vids so much bc they are super chill, always. It takes me to a much calmer place, as I am usually hella stressed, always. Thanks!
Of course you are an artist!! Love to see you both pitching in to clean.
Your whole aesthetic, aquarium builds, prints literally all of it is art!!! Some of the best I've seen styling wise!!
Oh Benji you are definitely an artist! You create, present and inspire all of us who view your work. We learn from you and admire your creations, in all forms. Thank you for sharing your art with us and thank you for your beautiful videos, you have such a way that captivates your audience ❤️ 🙌
I love how organic your videos are. I particularly enjoyed this one. So relaxing! You are most definitely an artist and a damn good one at that! Keep creating :)
Your content is soooo therapeutic. I learn so much from watching these videos, I’m thankful that I came across your channel. Btw your family and friends are so awesome! Keep on being great benji.
There’s no doubt...You are a gifted artist by nature. 🌱 What I wouldn’t give to have half as much talent and design with plants. You have a authentic calmness and peacefulness that show through your plants. That is truly a gift that no money can buy. You are an artist and plants just happen to be your medium. Thank you for sharing your artistry with all of us.
everytime I watch your vlogs Benji, I feel relaxed and stressfree.
Hi Benji. I totally agree with Pearfleur your work is Art. The way you display your plants in the pictures, your creation etc........soooo pleasing to the eye. 😊
Plant art, I love it. I define art as anything that speaks to the soul. You seriously have a great eye for plant design. It is inspiring me to change the way I display my collection.
I love you. You are sooo creative, the things that you create.. I can’t even explain it but as a kid I’ve always wanted to create things like this. This video brought me so much joy. I love how calming your energy is.
How are y'all the absolute cutest?! I love watching your videos. They are so calm and relaxing. I love the home you've built together.
Watching you and Chris together eases some pain in my heart. You guys are so lovely
You’re so humble. 🤗 Yes, you are an artist. Your content is so relaxing. I’m so happy I found your channel!
your plant art is always so great benji! so proud of you❤️
I really appreciate your channel. I watch your videos almost every night before going to sleep. Thank you for bringing such amazing content. You are an inspiration in many ways)))
helloo love your videos
Hi Benji, I recently found your channel and your videos have easily become my favourite videos to watch! Your videos are super calming and they help me relax after a long day or when I'm anxious. I hope you continue putting out more and more videos. Much love from Kenya🙂
What you said about this collaboration with nature is exactly what classic poets like Goethe and Schiller said was essential for creating art. That's one of the main characteristics of classic poetry.
What you do is definitely an art. It's interesting because you view your work differently than everyone else. Your work and sculptures are absolutely stunning. I definitely consider you an artist.
You are def an artist, and a very good one at that! Congrats on the commission! Super cool, I am sure you will be doing more of those in the future. Love these diary type content, super relaxing and fun to watch.
Benji, you are a artist, your prints are lovely and don’t sale yourself short, I only found you recently and they are so relaxing, so a big thank you 😃🙏 ❤️from Bristol uk🎍🪴
This Chanel is the most calming and relaxing thing in this world like just aah
You are absolutely an artist. You get inspired and create things. That's really, I feel, is the basis of art. Everything else is subjective.
Every time I watch one of your videos it just calms me down, thanks for being a amazing content creator!
I've always thought of my planted fish tanks as a creative/artistic outlet--and now I do the same with my plants and how I incorporate them into my home. Love your channel because you have a wonderful eye and talent for creating beautiful spaces, which does indeed make you an artist! And I can't tell you how much joy I got seeing your dad hugging his pot of whale fin 😂. Such a plant lover! 💚
It's absolutely art, all of it. Some youtube videos I wouldn't call art but yours are. It is magical and brings such a vibe, you're an incredible artist in my opinion. Especially the things you do with moss and the content you create around that ❤️
You are definitely an artist!! You make the ecosystem and plants come alive with your artistic view. You take us to another world, that we really don't pay attention too. The beauty is you can name your craft whatever you like, just like your work. Think big!!
Really love watching your video very calming ❤️❤️
The art for many people like me is something you do by putting yourself in it. And your job and your plant is a piece of your soul
There are so many different kinds of art and you for sure are an artist! You have the eye for beautiful 🤩 so believe it. I create beautiful art!!
Benji you’re absolutely an artist! A lot of us own plants, but most of us can’t style them in the way you do. I told you this before, but you inspire me to do so many different types of plant projects that I never thought of before. I always want my plant aesthetic to look as good as yours. It takes a certain type of eye and talent to style the plants & create plant projects in the way you do. Love every second of this video. 😍🌱
Hi Benjie, yes what you are doing is art, keep going. Love your channel and your voice so calming. Your plants are amazing. Have a good day from Auckland NZ.
Your sense of aesthetics is amazing. It is enough to look at your botanical posters to know that you are an artist. Great Channel !
I don’t usually comment on plant vlogs. Benji, you are nothing but pure calmness. Your voice, your humility, your ART. Yes it is art. Don’t forget ‘art is what YOU create’. I want the plant art to show support.
Your videos are just so chill and soothing!!!😭I love your attitude towards this hobby!
You have such peaceful gentle vibes. It’s awesome!
Absolutely love what you do with the moss. I’m going to try getting my sphagnum moss to green now.
I relate to the artist conundrum a lot. I do digital anime art, but I always have the intrusive thought "well it's not REALISTIC art" but that's not how art works, Brain!😖
Creation with love and what's gifted to you is Art in its own kind.
Everything you do is art, your channel has been very inspiring, keep creating and sharing. 😊
Loved today’s video
Your definitely a artist! You are so talented! Your interior decorating, terrariums, display of plants etc is incredible! Your my favorite plant youtuber hands down! Ps tell theo I love him!
Hey @benjiplant! Just wanted to leave some love here. I absolutely adore you and your content. You soothe my harried soul haha so all the best and stay wonderful 💙
I pray for all the love in the world comes to you Benji-chan ❤️ You are truly blessed and brilliant. Keep on shining B.✨
I am so impressed by you and your passion for plants. Amazing
You are an artist! I see it in everything you do. Your videos are so well put together and inspiring. Keep creating, stay well☺️
In a time of over stimulation and multi-tasking I can’t believe I watch your videos from beginning to end without interrupting myself …you are an artist
you are an artist, and the love you put into your art makes it so beautiful ❤
So calming as always
You are definitely an artist :) thank you for the endless inspirations!
Wow very creative! Terrariums are so interesting & intriguing.

You're an amazing artist!! Much love Benji 💚
Found your channel a while back. Your content and energy radiates such warmth and positivity. And you’re an exquisite artist, benji :))
Congratulations for 107k subs 🌿💗💗🌱
wow such a happy coincidence Pear Fleur is your commissioner, I've been subscribed to her since 2017 I loved her plant studies and artwork. It's such a relaxing aesthetic, it also lead me to getting into plants and home gardening as well
Benji you are absolutely an artist! I feel like you add beauty to every ordinary thing
You are an artist. Art is in painting, ceramics, programing, architecture, design, science, plants, the list is endless. Anything can be art, it just depends on the intention to call it as such, and the presentation. You are without a doubt an artist. I am Visual Designer and Artist.
Of course you're an artist, own it! I've been loving your fashion sense too, that jumper is rad.
Falling deeper in love with art and plants ❤️🌱
You are such a sweetheart! I bet your parents adore you! Bless your heart ❤️ great videos
i love ur videos
If you have the desire to create then thats art :) Love your vlogs and plants its very relaxing to binge watch while working, thanks for making them
I think you are a very good artist because u create really pretty art with plants and even put meanings to it :D
Dude… what you do is more than Art. It’s a life style. It is Life. It’s a bondage that we form with Mother Earth. I grow different kinds of plants, cacti, and mushrooms at home and they are all beautiful. Which in my eyes is Gods Art that we get to enjoy and life with.
I totally have always seen you as a artist and a great one! 🥰 Your aquariums are something out of this world 😍 Also love your terrariums. P.s. your parents seem awesome 💖
You do plant art! And it is beautiful. Art comes in many forms. Thankyou
You are an artist Benji and an inspiration 💚
