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.

Different, but in a good way
Format: Paperback
I have read all of Robert Greenes previous books, and I always walked away in amazement. I would see the negative reviews those books received, but I would always ignore them and thank God that I did. That compelled me to buy this book once I saw it was released and once again, the negative review bugs are back out. Normally, I wouldn’t write a review on a book because I would rather the reader form their own opinion. This book is different, and I would like to address this for anyone who is a Robert Greene fan or in the process of becoming one. This book is exactly what every human alive needs to read, which is why I am writing this review to stop the second guessers. It focuses on how our emotions are destructive and how we must be careful about how freely we let them out now. Yes, the style is different from his past books. He goes into narratives about the different emotions, what they can do, and how we can control them while occasionally touching on how they played out in history. For many fans of his previous books, this can be disappointing as we are used to reading thrilling tales throughout history and how they play into the law he is explaining in that chapter with side bar quotes of knowledge from historic figures. I understand why he could not take that approach with this book, as he wanted to focus more on explaining the emotions on a psychological level instead of a historical one. Is there entertaining and historic tales in the book? Yes, somewhat but nowhere near like his past books. I ask that you open your mind to this book and allow your knowledge to grow in a world where emotional control is decaying. Like he said in this book, don’t let your emotional impulses cloud your judgement. Step back, take a second, reassess and approach this book with a clear mind. You will thank me for it.

In-depth and comprehensive
Format: Kindle
This book was so full of information about the human animal. Is the only wish I had this information earlier in my life. I wish my kids would read it, and perhaps they will. It's very in depth and leaves me reflecting on how I want to change some of my thinking and behaviors like no other book I've read. I wish I belonged to a book club just to discuss it with other readers! I don't necessarily agree with everything that the author states. But it was a most thought provoking book and I read allot of books! Allot of work went into the writing of this book. Near perfect editing which I appreciated. I am a big fan of human psychology and it held my interest and kept me up too late not wanting to put it down!

Kubrick’s revelatory swan song is full of hidden meanings
An underrated masterpiece, Eyes Wide Shut is a gem layered with meaning. A semi-autobiographical sensibility permeates given the parameters of its production. It’s immaculately shot, edited and designed and offers two central performances from the then married Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Given its theme, their subsequent divorce reflects back on the choppy waters faced by their characters Bill and Alice Harford. The result is a dream logic of coincidences that ensnare a married couple in self doubt and sexual angst. They live a fairly privileged life in a Manhattan apartment but after a Christmas party at a huge mansion owned by an elite acquaintance, the relationship begins to unravel when both are confronted by the consequences of their projected desires. This prompts the husband Bill on an odyssey through a night time New York and an escalating series of encounters as his wife’s confession about an infatuation with another man eats away at his own inner, unfulfilled desires. It’s a dark/light solstice of a film, as man and wife chase fatalistic hidden desire, their marriage subject to dissolution and they plunge through a dark night of the soul and emerge into a morning of earnest confession and much soul searching. In the end, it’s a fascinating watch. Quite revelatory given my initial reception to it many decades ago. But that’s Kubrick for you. It’s essential to revisit his films. Beautifully presented in 4K by Criterion, it asks us to take ownership of our inner desires, to confront them with honesty and discern what is merely a dream from the reality around us. And no, it’s not the erotic thriller the marketing promised. Another desire thwarted or a deliberate obfuscation of the intense psychological drama it really was?

Everything Has Already Been Said
SK’s Final Masterpiece. Truly, it’s outstanding, as all of his films are. About the transfer. This is what they had to work with. For some reason, 2001, ACO, TS, and FMJ all look 4K, so to speak. This one looks a little grainy. I can’t complain. It’s better than nothing.
