My Creative Plant Projects | how i keep plants exciting

  • I try to approach plants creatively and experimentally. I've seen people talk about how they're becoming disinterested in plants, but I think one of the reasons for this might be because people only grow a select few genera or species. Most of the social media houseplant community I see sticks to aroids. I love aroids too, however, it can be refreshing and inspiring to grow different plants or try fun projects with them! For me, it rekindles that initial spark of joy I felt when I first discovered my love of plants. The idea of newness and exploration with projects and new plants is what keeps my passions alive. I hope y'all are having a good day!
    best,

    I loooove aquariums and you do them so we’ll!! They helped me learn so much about nature and house plants , plus using the aquarium water is so helpful when you have houseplants, propagating, watering them is so easy and makes em thrive !! Honestly anything you are passionate about comes across so well I’m sure everyone would love it 💚

      @@benjiplant A video "everything about aquariums" sounds pretty overwhelming to me too. However I do love to experiment with plants in water like keep lucky bamboo in water, buy aquarium plants and arrange them with stones and cute glass fish and such...How about you start small (like: how much natural light would such an aquarium plant need, how much water change to keep it alive at least for some time a.s.o.; how much fertilizer does the lucky bamboo need?, and maybe give some more information on which plants are really good to keep in water indefinitely and what to keep in mind) ? And then you might just get to more ambitious projects step by step -?

      @@marylou8891 Personally, I'd love a more informative video on Benji's process / take on aquariums! I've done a bunch of research on them and was actually hoping for a video specifically dedicated to aquariums from Benji- there's so much information out there on the more beginner-friendly stuff so it'd be nice to have that deeper insight into how he achieves his setups as well as the creative aspect / designing of them. I definitely agree with you on starting with explaining the simpler stuff first and then delving into the more intricate parts of aquariums in the video though :)

    Hi Benji, loved the video! If you need any extra video ideas, I was thinking about a video where you talk about some things that go/have gone wrong in your plant journey or just in every day care taking. For example, some projects that failed or plants that have died and what you have learned from it :)

    I have a large collection of blue / white porcelain carpet balls. I tend to collect blue orbs or circles as well. I took inspiration from your moss orb and added a few into different areas where I have my dish / glass collection displayed. I love the contrast of the blue/ white then clear living greens mixed and matched. It combines my love of blue onion and plants. I have a chain of turtles that got huge over winter I might do a feature plant of that as well hanging. Thanks for sharing!

    I gained my interest In growing plants mainly from my grandfather with gardening and a former farm stand job where we would plant, harvest, and sell produce which really inspired me to start my own garden. From there I began collecting indoor plants which then turned into growing outdoor plants in a grow tent (ie beans, peppers, herbs, etc). I have tried to just explore my interest and have fun like you said so I completely agree with your point. I always like to tell people with fishing who ask me about it, and I tell them to just make it what you want and have fun and that’s the best way to learn. Great video even though I’m a month late, I just recently found your channel!
