The way you and Chris met and got together was so genuine and organic, it makes me so happy to see positive LGBT on social media! I can’t wait to see what more you have to offer as you include us in your plant journey 🥺
WE DEMAND MORE CHRIS CONTENT, TYSM ILY!
so bossey…..
@@Dnn411 they were /j
I posted this for a few minutes yesterday but for some reason, the last part got cut off and I stopped mid-sentence lol. Here it is again reuploaded! Also, I made a typo, I said I started posting on social media in Nov 2021, but I meant 2020 haha. Unfortunately I cannot time travel
Oh! I was wondering! Haha
more chris content !
I have had a really bad day a BUT I happened upon this video and it cheered me right up. I love your positivity creativity your cheérfulñess especially the two óf yóu together has made my heart sing,may you have a long and happy life together. Bless you both xx
i love how benji talking and explained the answers, he talked really calm and appropriate, benji youtube inspired me to take care of my houseplants. thank you benji! keep it up!
these two guys right here are make me crying for their genuine relationship😭😭❤️❤️ wishing you guys a very lovely life ahead🤗
Literally the perfect life, everything about you is absolutely incredible. thanks for the awesome videos :)
I knew you were an INFP. Like my best friend, you’re open-hearted and bring an experimental attitude to life. This is something you’ll be doing forever - exploring a variety of ideas, lifestyles, and experiences. In each new experience, you’ll see an opportunity to not only learn about the world, but about yourself and life’s purpose. So, take your time, Benji. Enjoy your gap year. It might be temporary or it might not. One thing for sure, it’s the beginning of the rest of your life.
- ENTP from 🇲🇾
I'm an INFP
"This is something you’ll be doing forever - exploring a variety of ideas, lifestyles, and experiences." this used to make me freeze up as an INFP, the idea or the fear that being this way is bad, and that it means that i just can't "make up my mind," "be mature, be an adult" and settle on a decision and a permanent course of action like other ppl seem to be able to.
even today, at 30 years old, i cant say i've fully embraced that this is how i am and that that's ok. but i am in a much better place than i used to be. becoming ok with the fact i don't know it all, that i have many interests and don't want to fully commit to one and drop all others, that i have this urge to try different things but not stick with any one single thing, and that i feel the need to reinvent my life, collect things, move cities and countries, etc. and embrace the idea that i may be a dreamer, as opposed to rejecting it vehemently each time someone else called me one.
I was thinking the same thing!! I got INFP energy from him cause of how similar our vibes are.
- your fellow INFP plant lover!
i thought he might be an INFJ actually. but he reminds me a bit of xie lian’s personality so i’m biased
Myers-Briggs is the Zodiac of personality tests. As it got so popular, they pushed it behind a paywall and dumbed downt the description of every personality type.
Ugh my favourite couple on the internet 😭❤️
Feeling: honored to be so early. I love your videos sm Benji, you’ve helped me to get more into my plant hobby and even your non-plant videos are so relaxing and aesthetic :) Thank you for doing what you’re doing!
loved this, benji! hope you could make more content with chris. it was so much fun to see both of you answer the questions! looking forward to that moss video 🌱☺️
oo for ceramic studios, I’d recommend Pot in echo park! they’re woc owned and are very vocal about sustaining an art community for poc in a heavily gentrified area. i only got to take a beginners series with them before the pandemic but it was lovely, they’re the best
just wanted to say that I've been absolutely loving your videos lately benji! you have such a calming, warm and safe presence and your videos are always so beautifully made, you can really tell how much hard work you put into them! i also loved seeing more of chris, you two seem like such a lovely couple
I am pleased to hear that you've been in South Korea and had a good time. I love your taste in plants and interior design. Your video gave me inspiration toward my dying desire for decorating my house. :) I hope a lot of good things will wait for you. It's really working out now, I believe. How cute this couple is!
That was really awesome, Benji. Thank you for sharing so much of your lives with us. That was the most I ever heard Chris talk. lol. And you do soothe me and make me calm. I love it. ❤
Hi Benji!!! you’re such an inspiration and wish you a long life of happiness with Chris
Ahh thank you for sharing your beautiful space and this slice of your life, love your videos!! ✨🌱
Cute room, cute couple, cute plant !!! Love it
i love Chris 🥰😅🤪 thanks for sharing! and best of luck with the life goals it’s a blessing you get a year off after college and do something you really enjoy doing!
You have such an amazingly calm energy ♡
Benji and Chris - you are an adorable couple. I love seeing happy, young gay nest builders learning the joys of domesticty. I hope you keep laughing and loving together for a long time.
They radiate so much soft and positive energy 💜
Now i’ve known why i love ur videos so much, cause we r infp!😭💗✨
Just stumbled onto your videos, and I love the calm vibes and in-depthness. As a fellow INTP, I can totally see that you both are INxP's. Our types are all about authentically going deep into our interests and merging on a mind/concept level. Wish you guys all the best!
You are such a good son, and your priorities are impressive for someone of your age. I hope your parents get to retire to a beach town sooner than later. I don't know how I stumbled upon your channel, but I've been watching for a few weeks now and I am always so relaxed after watching and I've learned a lot about plants as well, so thank you for your content! Edit: It's always nice seeing Theo and Chris in your videos and you have a lovely family too. Seeing your dad's gardens is goals!
love this video, so wholesome vibes
As someone who ALWAYS wanted to do fun activities growing up but my family couldn't afford it, thank you for recognizing just how privileged you were to have parents that were willing to sacrifice so much for you. I know many people simply overlook what their parents provided for them, so it's nice to know that there *are* people who do recognize just how lucky they are.
Also, love all of your videos! You've really inspired me regarding my plants, but also with how I want to decorate my space!
Thank you for the video, great inspiration hearing you talk about how you are pushing yourself to meet and make new friends!
I could listen to you for hours💗
u guys are too cute to handle i cant 🤧🫀
Good grief you two are BEAUTIFUL! Seemingly inside as well as out. 💚💚💚
You and Chris are something special.
Omg! The are litterly so cute just look in the mirror behind😭😭😭 melts my heart! Made my day btw
I love all your videos and the tone of your voice is so relaxing. You and Chris are super cute!!! I love it 🥰
really great plant aesthetics and your sweetness wins all hearts
u r so precious benj! thank you for this insightful video, it made me realize that i might want to study environmental studies, but since im just as indecisive, we'll have to see where this goes haha. much love from South Africa... p.s. u and chris are adorable couple!
I loved that Q &A and I think you and Chris is a match made in heaven
love love love your vlogs just spending time with your family i came to this video from there tysm for sharing 💙
YALL ARE WAY TO CUTE TOGETHER OMG 😆
Benji, you are such an amazing human; great soul, good to know that there are humans like you!!!!
Thanks so much Benji 😊 💚 This is a great video. You and Chris are a lovely couple 😍 Chris has the most amazing blue eyes. I love your personalities 💚
Thank you so much for all your youtube content . You have helped me relax during a very dark time. I watch your videos before bed to unwind and they always make me happy 😊 It is greatly appreciated. Wishing you much happiness for future 💚🌱🌿🪴💚
So calming and informative. Love watching your videos.
I just think you are so chill!! Chris is too!
Love your videos so much. As always, thank you for the best vibes
Aah! 💓 Such a cute story! Invite Chris to your videos more often. He somehow adds even more to the positive vibe you already have.🥰 Also, I’m looking forward to the moss video, because I’m only successful in growing it my terrariums, but when I try it in a jar or smthg, it is not doing so well. Maybe it’s the temperature? I think it might be too cold in Europe for moss to grow without some additional light and heat from growing light. 🧐
Benji, I loved before watching this vid but I now love you even more. Thank you for sharing about your story.
Yaaaay! Road to 70k subs! Congratulations!💚💚🥳🥳🥳🎉
Y’all are the cutest.
I love this video we learn so much about you ❤️
yall are so cute! 🥺🥺
Thanks Benji. I always enjoy your content.
love the camera quality! i’ll enjoy the video now
sameee the camera is so good
It's crazy how we have so many things in common! Im taking environmental science after deliberating that and marine biology, still very indecisive. I have attended seminars on aquaponics. I have had violin lessons when i was young, i like to paint, i really like plants, i had swimming lessons and play futsal (indoor soccer). Also i feel like you're an infp too cause it's giving that vibe cause samesies. I love how calm you are as well 💓
I love you and Chris 😭😭😭
I just subscribed and cannot get over how amazing your channel is!
Besides the plants, I also enjoy the music you use in your videos
I have been playing World of Warcraft for eight years and I am 71 and I absolutely love it and you are just the sweetest thing you are like therapy for me I wish you the best and I know you will go far in life
Loved this video ♥️ much love
this channel is so relaxing lol i love it
I could imagine you having a super cool plant store- not only plants, but also interior items related to plants( like pots , shelves etc.)
I like your attitude to speak out about life and plants
sadly im not so early, but your videos are always so calming 🙌
Benji 💗 Amazing content.. Looking forward to many more of these videos.
Benji you are so dedicated and creative!
You deserve my respect and I hope you keep learning and teaching about plantas.
This morning I watched the "avatar way to the water" advertisement attached to your video!
God bless you and Chris💝💖
INTP+INFP combo guys! Relationship goals ❤❤❤
Love love love your content keep it up!
I really like the TH-cam-yous, you are like friends I wanna have around, so calming and peaceful. I can't, because I'm far away from you, locally and agely. So I'm happy that you found each other and share your lifes. Stay safe and happy.
You guys became my favourite couple on TH-cam starting today.
I only discovered and subscribed to this channel yesterday and I hope to learn surprising things about plants that I don’t already know, although I won’t be able to apply all your knowledge or advice to my plants, because I live in South Australia and I’m gardening outdoors, (not that easy on this hot and dry climate in summer and coldish in winter) I have only 3 potted plants indoors…my house is surrounded by trees and I don’t have the right light for indoor plants…
PS I love both your hairstyles a lot! 🥰
i just discovered u today and i love u already!!
omg! You two are so cute together!!!
I just woke up and this video made my day :D
Thank you for sharing. Everything looks nice and clear.
so exciteddddd
Love, thank you for the upload. Do you have a video on how to care for a balcony garden pond?
Why do i feel like you're my son from another universe?❤️
I would love to make my own pottery. You are very calming ☺️
I love your TH-cam channel! It is my only social media so I try to extract all your goodness here!
Chris has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen! ❤
You are so cute together (I guess you hear this a lot 😅).
Both of you seem like that type of friend everyone wants to have in their life 😊
Also, hello fellow INFP! We share the same love for plants and art, so I really enjoy your videos ❤
You both are very talented. Thank you for sharing. Great video.👍💚
off topic but your skin is gourgeous omg😩😩
Sending love to benji and chris from the philippines ❤
U R OFFICIALLY MY AESTHETIC / INSPIRATION 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
OMGoodness. You are BOTH SO HANDSOME...!!!🥰🥰🥰
Loved the video!
NO WAY I WAS LEGIT GOOGLING BENJIPLANT COLLEGE COURSE YESTERDAYYYY
Ya’ll are so cute 🥺🥺🥺
Love your vlogs and love for nature.
Benji...stay "your" course and be true no matter what life throws at you. You will have ups & downs and you will be indecisive and then play the would-of, should-of, could-of game. The only things that truly matter are your happiness and those that you allow, and that they allow you to be apart of your life. No money, material items, or fame will ever replace genuine relationships. As relationships and the journey's shared is what you will remember when your time expires. As I've said in the past you are one special human being that I am so glad you have given us a glimpse of what can be. The world can be a cold and cruel place sometimes... but your heart, mind and soul are the warmest and most kind that I truly wish you achieve everything you set out to do. As your success will also bring light to those that may only see darkness. Looking forward to seeing more content with the most important things in your life... Family, Chris, Plants & Friends!!!
Idk if anyone already said this but that blue shirt looks absolutely amazing on you Benji. Have a great day 💛

Wow, I never thought Chris was your first date, you guys are a sweet couple ❤️❤️❤️
My husband and I met on Facebook dating. It’s been 4 years and we are living in a custom built house happily married. He’s also Asian and I was his first relationship as well. Our journeys sound so familiar and magical! ❤❤
Happy for you 🌻
🌬️🌈
I just got to know you both have been in south korea, just because it's not that long that I subscribed you. I really like your contents and also your soothing and calming voice. You and Chris are such a beautiful couple. Love you all! from Korea.
