Ficus elastica 'Black Knight' is a striking rubber plant cultivar known for its dramatic, nearly black foliage and bold architectural form. Its thick, leathery leaves are a deep, inky green—often appearing almost black in low light—with contrasting red-tinged new growth that adds a flash of colour before maturing. More intense in tone than ‘Robusta’ or ‘Burgundy’, 'Black Knight' makes a powerful statement in modern interiors, especially when paired with pale walls or light-toned pots.

Native to Southeast Asia, Ficus elastica is naturally hardy and low maintenance, with 'Black Knight' offering the same resilience in a darker, moodier package. It can grow to 1.5–2 metres indoors and takes pruning well to control height or shape.

Toxic if ingested. Irritating sap.

Comprehensive Care Instructions for Ficus elastica 'Black Knight'

Lighting Requirements

Indoors: Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain leaf colour and vigour. Tolerates medium light, but very low light may dull the black tones. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Outdoors (in warm zones): Best in part shade or dappled light. Avoid frost or strong wind exposure.

Watering Regimen

During the Growing Season (Spring to Early Autumn):
Water when the top 3–5cm of soil is dry. Use a pot with drainage and avoid water pooling in the saucer.
Cooler Months:
Water less frequently, allowing the soil to dry more deeply between waterings.

Temperature & Humidity

Performs best between 16°C–28°C. Protect from temperatures below 10°C and avoid sudden cold drafts.
Tolerates average household humidity but appreciates occasional misting, especially in dry indoor air.

Fertilizing

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser. Hold off feeding in winter unless actively growing.

Pruning & Maintenance

Prune to control height or encourage branching. Use clean shears and avoid sap contact with skin.
Wipe leaves regularly with a damp cloth to enhance shine and remove dust.

Repotting

Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound. Use a free-draining mix and step up one pot size at a time for best results.

Pests & Troubleshooting

Monitor for scale, spider mites or mealybugs. Leaf drop may occur with overwatering, low light or sudden environmental changes—allow time to adjust.
Blackening or soft patches on leaves can indicate cold stress or excess moisture at the roots.

Important Note: Bold Colour, Easy Nature

Ficus elastica 'Black Knight' offers a dramatic foliage option without high fuss. Its glossy black leaves and easy-going nature make it perfect for adding depth and contrast to any plant collection or styled interior.

Beautiful, sturdy, storage...many uses, easily put together in about 2 minutes! Love it!
This is the handiest storage that I have ever had! It also looks elegant while storing! Could be used for make-up, kitchen, bathroom, even a beside the bed caddy to hold your remotes and necessities to watch a movie! Very sturdy, I held a 10 lb. bag of potatoes on the middle shelf, and a 10 lb. bag of potatoes on the bottom shelf, with some fruit on top!! Beautiful twisted looking glass (plastic) for a more elegant look. There’s only one thing I wish you could change. I’d like to put the fruit on the plate on the top, but it will not go together that way! It’s so big it needs to sit in the floor, making that very cute little bottom shelf almost useless. Very pleased with this storage and comes in very handy!! Love it and have recommended it for friends!

Perfect!!
I had to replace my old metal stack bin. It was starting to rust and look well worn. I saw a lot of metal and wood bins but wanted something that was not to expensive and would be easy to clean. This was perfect. 4 baskets, bigger than my previous bin, and pretty sturdy and easy to clean (plastic). I ordered in white. It sits next to my white cabinet in my laundry room with my white machines. Looks clean and perfect!!

Nice Stand
This is very sturdy and was easy to assemble. I use it on my bathroom countertop. The top basket holds my hair dryer, getting the cord up off the counter while still plugged in. Just what I wanted.

Handy for storing fresh produce
The stacking baskets are as advertised. Easy to assemble without instructions. A little wobbly as expected but is sturdy enough; even better once propped in a corner. As with most things, it can last for quite a while if handled with care. Measurements are accurate. At 38" tall, I knew that the set of 4 baskets would have towered 2" above my countertop (36"). Now, I think that the set of 3 would have worked just fine at about 29" tall. I like that this can fit in such a tiny 12" floor space and I am able to reclaim some much needed counter space. Talk about uncluttered! Overall this was a good buy but I do think that it is a bit overpriced.

Very firm to be placed on counter top. Baskets have enough space to store onions, fruits etc. Fair price as well.
