- I'm unboxing plants from Botanicaz!~ Loads of begonias, and rare aroids. This is my first time unboxing plants on my channel and it was tons of fun. I didn't know what they sent me so it was really exciting to open each plant. I'm using these for my IKEA Rudsta cabinet I'm transforming into a paludarium (a full tutorial for this will be up soon). If y'all like this, maybe I'll do more of these in the future!
best,
benji

btw my fingernails look like that because when i was building my paludarium i didn’t wear gloves and got expandable foam all over my hands lol.. it’s been a couple days and it’s still stuck on 😭
hahaha thankyou we were wondering
I actually thought it's a nail polish. 😅
@@albertcalibo same bro😂
Charged to experience.
That's so sweet of them to send you a Magiya! That's another one of their hybrids, Baik x Darthvaderiana. It's named after the two that were caring for it, Maggie, one of the employees that you had her insta in the video I believe, and Anya, the owner.
It also means “magic” in Russian which Anya speaks
It's free advertising for them, nothing more...they're taking advantage of a TH-cam channel that has a lot of subscribers...someone that has a channel all about plants, yet knows not a lot about plants 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@tude17 There are over 10,000 plant genera out there, all with different care requirements. I’m not familiar with the Begonia genus, but i’m exploring different plant genera which I discuss in the video. I’m not afraid to admit that I lack knowledge in a certain topic. We’re all learning!
@@tude17 You're a ray of sunshine.
@@tude17 so why are you here?
I'm still shocked that they sent you one of their most expensive plants! Get that bread benji!!!
Watching Benji and his plants could fix my bad day actually. So peaceful ❤️
woah that aquarium shop tank is gorgeous!!!! can’t wait to see ur tanks :p
I love these. Begonias are so underrated. While everyone is vying for albo monsteras and philodendrons, begonias are so much more colorful and compact. Much easier to grow imo.
I love the Begonias too but have lost a few expensive ones from Botanicaz I just don’t know exactly what they want . Julau is the easiest for me .
@@sierra734 they need high humidity, bright bright light, airy potting soil (more leaf compost). The brighter the light (most of them), they will thrive more. I water them everyday, getting direct sun like 3 hrs a day, here in Jakarta though.
OMG so many dream plants!!!! Congrats on the sponsor and I hope they thrive in your care~~~
Congratulations on getting a sponsorship from them!
omg...those are SOSOSO precious and extremely massively expensive begonias...years of wishlist plants for me...almost crying at the casual way they just sent all those for free...
Another wonderful video! It's so funny to see begonias making a come-back! Begonias were SO popular in Canada in the mid 80's, my mother's garden was FULL of them. Every time I think about the 80's it's like: glass bricks, mullets, yellow sunglasses, and begonias!
not THESE begonias though. These are rare and very very expensive species begonias, not cheerful garden hybrids.
bro ur so aesthetic like. 💚💚💚
Fun unboxing video. Have trouble pronouncing names of plants too. Great selection of plants from Botanicaz, never realized begonias can look so cool and different.
These clear containers are cute too
It's my first time seeing such beautiful and unique plants, I'm in love with the Begonia Darthvaderianas so beautiful with their red leaves and I want to raise my own Begonia now 🥺🥺🥺
Omg, the monstera though... lucky lucky benji
That shirt is chefs kiss 🤌🏻 I also loooove begonias but I struggle so much with them. Would you be willing to do a begonia care video maybe once you’ve cared for these ones?! Botanicaz is so incredible👏🏻❤️
Aww, how sweet! I look forward to seeing what you do with these beauties.
I’ve not ordered any begonias from Botanicaz but the aroids I’ve ordered from them have been very healthy. They’re a great company.
Yaaaay comfort TH-camr posted
Learning and experiencing from your experience. Ha ha ha. I love the Begonia sp!
I literally just put that spotted begonia on my wishlist. It looks absolutely wild!
I've been getting into begonias and smaller orchids lately, and its like the more you learn the more you realize how little you know, there are like 2000 begonia species, and I have no idea how many orchid thousands of orchid species.
lovely plants thanks for sharing
It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who has tried to eat those packing corn puffs.
Has anyone says to you that your voice is very calming? It’s so soothing
Very kind of them. I really enjoyed watching you getting all excited Great video 👍
I love begonias, they are so noble. How cute and warm you are, I love you Benji🤍✨
Wow, begonias are my absolute favorite! I'm loving all these botanicaz unboxings
all of these r so cute! Can't wait to see the finished paladarium!! Also bless your sweet soul, you have such kind eyes
I love you’re videos so much and thank you for showing TH-cam all the begonias
I super love all the begonias! I can't wait to see what you are working on. Please make sure you document what you are doing coz Im really interested in making one myself.
✨💫i love your reflection of how new plants inspire us to admire their uniqueness and individuality😇i also often feel this way when i collect new plants because it reminds me of how big and complicated the world is and reminds us to be more mindful and grateful😇blessings to you!!! ✨✨✨
I can't wait to see what you do with those beautiful plants.🥰
So I would like to say that your plants are so beyond loved, I love how you present your videos, and narrate them. I love plants as well. I also am a Aquarist. I have 10 active planted tanks. All have terrestrial houseplants that I keep in them. They have symbionic relationships with my aquatic creatures. Like my golden pothos is growing and thriving completely submerged, it has finally breached the water surface. The plant helps scape my frog tank. It offers them strong leafs to rest on that my snails and shrimp will not eat the plant, unless the leaf starts to die back. Then it's game on for them. This plant has stable roots in the flooring of the tank. I am always looking for tropical bog like plants that love water. One of moss videos made in my feed. I clicked and watched. You made a moss ball plant thing. I am very sorry I can not remember the name of the ball. Thank you for sharing. Not easy caring for plants, going to school, and having a channel. Awesome work young man💕
Wow they sent you so many cool begonias, can’t wait to see how they look in your cabinet! Love the hairy begonias too, so fun!
Benji!!! yay this is so exciting. I love botanicaz!!! Can't wait to see these plants in action.
so many awesome plants, can't wait to see your terrarium!!
This video is amazing!!!! Thank you for creating this amazing video!!!!
I love your calm vibe. Very nice video!
the way i ran when i saw the notification
Same💀
OMG your paludarium tank is insane!!!!! WOW
Love your explanation about plants♥ Thank you for sharing👍😊
keep up the good informative videos! I look forward to learning from you!
I love how Benji's sazzyness illumintes in this video😍
Happy Planting Mr Benji! Always watching here from Phil🇵🇭 -luvlots ❤️
This is so timely Bc I have just ordered a shipment from them & have been diving into begonia territory! 😱 so exciting!!!
Interesting, the aquarium looks really good!
I so enjoy all of your videos and this one is especially of interest. I’ve had a love/ hate relationship with Begonias for about 2 years- I love them, but that feeling is not reciprocated much. I’ve bought humidifiers, grow- lights and have done tons of research then followed the suggestions to a tee- they still dislike me. I would love if you could do a follow up video at some point with your knowledge on how to keep them happy. I haven’t been able to make or purchase a greenhouse yet, except for the humidifiers in my room where they’re kept, but any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated if you decide to do such a video. Thank you so much for your channel, I always look forward to watching.
I probably don't know more than you, since I haven't done much research on begonias- But I do know these plants are supposed to be very easy to take care of. Which makes me think maybe it's simply the area you live in isn't fit for begonias? I recently watched a video on calathea, and the man in it was talking about how it's really hard to take care of plants that like humidity in very dry climates. Personally, I can't grow a ton of flowers because the area I live in gets super hot and sunny. But there are always solutions to these things. :)
I like the way you talk so soft and your voice is so soothing!! 😭❤️ Can you read me a bedtime story!! Please lol Okay, back to the video!! 🤗
That's so many! Love it
Oooohhh and aaaahhhh and that so cool is all I would have said as well 😂
Wonderful plants and very generous of them to send so many. I’m going to check out their site for sure.
I’m also super interested in seeing your cabinet planted as I’ve had a similar idea of turning that IKEA cabinet into a vivarium instead of building one from scratch.
The Begonia 'Moona' reminded me of Lichen growing on trees. I'm not a begonia person but that one really caught my eye!
I have been getting more into begonias and small orchids, and both are kind of amazing. We think of them like grandma's plants, only they get pretty wild and exotic.
@@notverynotoriousg5674 I never really saw them like that really and as I got into plants I learned that they can look so incredibly different from one another. They truly are beautiful plants, I just don't like some of the leaf shapes and the feel of the leaves.
@@ArthurGrey. yeah, i get you, but they are a lot of them that aren't what you would think of as "begonia". I have luxurians and venosa on my shopping list for spring, I need to stop buying plants, lol. luxurians has really nice palmate leaves and venosa looks more like a succulent.
Hi , love to watch your video every time and the begonias you’ve received are magnificent . They are really awesome plants and need high humidity, anyway good luck to you and hope they thrive in your care n don’t forget to give us some tips on growing them cos I struggle with mine, thks though!
Ooomg!!! I have also been in to begonias lately. This video was so much fun!
I know this is random, but the shirt looks really comfy.
i had a not so great day today, and this video really helped :] thank you benji
Saw this posted in a discord and I had no idea there was a plant TH-cam. Kinda neat
Omg so glad you posted a new vid! Best wishes 4 u!
Please make more videos on your aquascaping and ikea cabinet revamping projects!! So exciting ahhh
Your voice is so soothing!
I love your energy
Yayayayay!! I’ve been waiting for a new video!!!!!

A side from his beautiful plants he is too cute and handsome looking guy.

Very nice 😍
Did you by any chance record the process of the build for future video? Because i would love to see that. If not, i hope you record the process of planting these begonia in your paludarium. Anyway good content as always 👍
OMG I love Botanicaz! And you got the hook up! I watch all of PlantMeAshley's videos and she is friends with Anya and does a lot of videos concerning her and her shop and AMAZING plants! She sent you a Moona!!! I am seriously jelly right now! lol I am ver happy for you and jelly at the same time! eeeek! I love the Moona! My top wish list plant 100% It is so beautiful. I also want a Silver Suede. And the variagated Adansonii (ghost) Ok thanks so much for sharing. You don't have to reply. I don't have a question, just love your haul today so awesome!
thank u for ur comment, i enjoyed reading it! have a good day :)
Omg i‘m so early 😭 luvvvv ❤️❤️
Omg! You’re so cute 🥺🥺
Cool !!!
Omg finnally!!!!!
Wow, ive never gotten into begonias🤔🤔🤔but now I lowkey want one LOL
same.. i’ve never been very interested in begonias until recently. some of them are rlly unique and stand out a lot from ur typical begonia. there’s also the fact that they flower sometimes which is an added bonus
@@benjiplant dang, definitely underrated plant😳thanks for showing us the lovely varietyyyy~
Lovely
oh those plants are actually pretty cool, i like the different colors.
funfact btw, taru is a finnish girls' name which means story
As someone who has purchased multiple darth vader hybrid varieties watching him just shelf them during the video gave me so much anxiety. The magiya and botanicaz 1, i got after less than 2 hours of unpacking were on the edge of death in my house while I was getting the terrarium setup because I wasn't expecting to get them shipped yet with a cold hold on them.
Awesome begonias 😍 Please share the update for us after several weeks maybe? Thanks 😊
You look so happy!. My zz plant is yellowing and I'd cut it off. This was so sad.
Wow that's a shitload of plants you unpacked there bro! I just really got into plants during the pandemic. There's so much I want but I never knew plants can cost so much. My current want is the pink princess. BTW Benji is so fucking adorable that it's almost distracting. 🤘🏾⚧
do you mix your own soil or get store bought because your plants look so healthy.
💚
Two categories ,
1.people who open boxes with a knife ,
2.People who open boxes with a scissors
💚💚
May I ask where do you get your pots?
I wish botanicaz shipped to where I’m from I love begonia so much
Finally
I love begonias so much, but in my dry climate they just shrivel up and die :( One day when I have the space, I'd like to make a little indoor greenhouse just for begonias.
💚💕
I do have a begonia rex and she is sooo neady!! Thats why her name is Drama queen😂❤
hi! any recommendations or tips for the 'moona'?
I am new to your channel and I am binge watching your videos 😭 lol
Question :3 where did you get your green planter behind you it’s lovely such a nice shade of green and being roundish
I love your videos!! Could you show us how you grew your string of hearts in moss ? 😊
tbh it’s pretty easy, place cuttings on top of moss, keep the moss moist but not too wet (don’t let water pool on the bottom). then out something over the string of hearts and moss to keep humidity up, clear plastic bag, clear tub, etc. and roots will form in no time
@@benjiplant very helpful and straightforward, thank you!! Just followed you on Instagram 🤞
My Kalimantan is hurting I just haven’t figured it out , looks like Julau type 2 tfs
