Ficus Black Knight – Bold Foliage for Modern NZ Interiors

Ficus Black Knight key features

Ficus Black Knight is a bold and stylish indoor plant, admired for its thick, glossy leaves that range from deep green to almost black, with striking red new growth. This cultivar of Ficus elastica grows upright with a compact form, making it perfect for modern interiors and office spaces. It is known for being low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and effective at purifying indoor air. Its dramatic foliage and architectural shape make it an excellent statement plant for bright rooms with indirect light.

Black Knight Ficus care

Ficus Black Knight prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions, making it ideal for New Zealand homes and offices. Water only when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry, and ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid root rot. This rubber plant enjoys consistent warmth and should be kept away from cold draughts or sudden temperature changes. During spring and summer, apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly to support lush foliage. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them glossy. With minimal maintenance, Black Knight will provide year-round impact with its striking dark foliage.
