- 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!
Yessss this!
Yesss 💯💯💯💯
YEsSSsSsssss!!! You're an arteest!!!!
Absolutely this! Coming from an artist here too.
THISSS 💯💯💯
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 :)
AHHHHH OMG!! I gave Benji’s Mom that grafted succulent (: it was a pain to me never wanted to grow more roots haha I’m glad she likes it!! (: Benji’s mom was so sweet she kept telling me to take the leftovers haha!!
haha she loooovvveesss it, she always shows me when we’re on facetime
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 TH-cam 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
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
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
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!
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.
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!!!
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
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! 😊
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 ❤🌱
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💖💖💖💖
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! 🥰👍🪴🌱🎋🍃🌾🌿
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.
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.
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.
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🎍🪴
Your whole aesthetic, aquarium builds, prints literally all of it is art!!! Some of the best I've seen styling wise!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 ❤️ 🙌
everytime I watch your vlogs Benji, I feel relaxed and stressfree.
Watching you and Chris together eases some pain in my heart. You guys are so lovely
Really love watching your video very calming ❤️❤️
Of course you are an artist!!
Love to see you both pitching in to clean.
your plant art is always so great benji! so proud of you❤️
You’re so humble. 🤗 Yes, you are an artist. Your content is so relaxing. I’m so happy I found your channel!
This Chanel is the most calming and relaxing thing in this world like just aah
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.
Your videos are just so chill and soothing!!!😭I love your attitude towards this hobby!
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🙂
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.
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!😖
So calming as always
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.
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
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.
Absolutely love what you do with the moss. I’m going to try getting my sphagnum moss to green now.
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.
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.
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.
I am so impressed by you and your passion for plants. Amazing
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 :)
You have such peaceful gentle vibes. It’s awesome!
Every time I watch one of your videos it just calms me down, thanks for being a amazing content creator!
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. 😊
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.
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.
I pray for all the love in the world comes to you Benji-chan ❤️
You are truly blessed and brilliant. Keep on shining B.✨
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 ❤️
helloo love your videos
Everything you do is art, your channel has been very inspiring, keep creating and sharing. 😊
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
Love your content, love the calm, love your plants, love your calm music…..❤️
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
You are ABSOLUTELY an ARTIST … yes, you are! I am inspired, mesmerized, drawn-in … and I should share I am so many generations older
i believe you are an artist, bc of your plants ofc but also you prints bc photography is a type of art. you are a artist :) if you are seeing this you are a insporation for me and my plants i love watch your videos and you make me rly happy, i want to grow my plant collection bc of you so thank you for helping me find something i love doing. thanks again
Your sense of aesthetics is amazing. It is enough to look at your botanical posters to know that you are an artist. Great Channel !
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!!
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)))
Loved today’s video
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. 😍🌱
I just recently discovered you and I must say you’re videos are giving me free therapy! Thank you for being such an inspiration! ❤️❤️❤️
you are an artist, and the love you put into your art makes it so beautiful ❤
Yes, what you create is absolutely art 🥰
Found your channel a while back. Your content and energy radiates such warmth and positivity. And you’re an exquisite artist, benji :))
Benji you are absolutely an artist! I feel like you add beauty to every ordinary thing
This was so fun and felt wholesome to watch
Never doubt yourself Benji. You are an authentic artist in every sense of the word!
You are an artist Benji and an inspiration 💚

Falling deeper in love with art and plants ❤️🌱
You are an artist! Everything you do is beautiful and comes from your creative brain!
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!!
My friend I almost started crying because you are so wholesome😭💚💚💚
I paint and make things and do “art” all the time and I think what you do is art! You make art with plants especially your terrariums and little ecosystems they’re art 🥺 the way you display your plants is so unique
I seriously love that round terrarium full of moss and I’ve wanted to make a kokedama ever since I saw your video
Creation with love and what's gifted to you is Art in its own kind.

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.
You are an artist! I see it in everything you do. Your videos are so well put together and inspiring. Keep creating, stay well☺️
This is so wholesome I love it
Yes what you do is art. Anything that is done deliberately and can evoke a emotion in someone is art.
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! 💚
You are definitely an artist :) thank you for the endless inspirations!
i love ur videos
I enjoy the way you speak, It has a very warm and calming effect :)
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!
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.
i really appreciate your work as a creator and artist! your videos really inspire me :)
This video may be my favorite yet! But tbh I feel that way after all of 'em... I most definitely consider it art! I'm also actively getting more into moss. Though i can't seem to keep the sphagnum moss from molding, yet. Would love to see even more content with moss or aquarium builds ~ slowly making my way into that world
