The Black Ficus Plant is a popular indoor plant that many plant enthusiasts welcome in their home and office interiors to breathe life into the space. Also known as Ficus elastica 'Black Prince', it is a stunning variety of the rubber plant. This is native to Southeast Asia, you cannot help but notice how strikingly beautiful this plant’s dark foliage is. The colour of its leaves is so vibrant and bright that it ranges from deep burgundy to nearly black.
The black ficus plant also features heavily glossy, leathery leaves that can grow to impressive lengths of 4 to 8 inches. So it’s sure to attract all your attention the moment you step into a room or area where this plant is thriving, and growing. While commonly grown as a ficus indoor plant, it can also thrive as a ficus outdoor plant in shaded areas. No matter where you place a black ficus, it will elevate the space into the centre of elegance and sophistication.
While the Ficus plant is one of the most common house and office plants, there are several benefits beyond it. Let’s explore what they are:
Like many indoor plants, the black ficus acts as a natural air filter, removing toxins from the environment. This process improves air quality by increasing the level of oxygen indoors.
Plants have always been known as great mood boosters and stress relievers. So welcoming them into your home, and office is great for your mental health, and decor.
Can we deny how fresh and lively indoors look with greenery everywhere? Be it a home or an office, a black ficus tree can liven up the space.
The ficus black plant falls under the category of low-maintenance plants. Without necessitating regular watering or only when the top soil is dry, it’s perfect for those who love plants but are not able to invest hours in caring for them. The plant keeps the home bright, green, and fresh while thriving on its own. You can also opt for self-watering pots for the plant to let it water itself.
Many plant owners often make the mistake of placing plants anywhere they find feasible. But it might hinder the plant growth if the location doesn’t suit its requirements. It is also true for your Black Ficus Plant. You can help its growth and well-being by placing the black ficus tree in an area that receives bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially during the morning or late afternoon, but avoid placing it in the harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorching. If you want the plant to grow as a ficus outdoor plant, a shaded spot that mimics its natural habitat is ideal. Ensure it is protected from strong winds and extreme temperature fluctuations.
You cannot skip proper care of the ficus plant if you want to maintain its health and beauty. The tree can grow up to 30 metres if allowed. However, you don’t need to worry about dealing with a tree with unmanageable height as the indoor ones are easy to manage. Here is a list of guidelines to follow to keep your black ficus plant in its perfect shape:
As we have already mentioned, black ficus requires bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate low light conditions, the plant thrives best with ample indirect sunlight.
Let the plant grow in its best shape by using well-draining potting soil rich in organic matter. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well for the ficus plant.
Water the plant when the topsoil feels dry. Overwatering black ficus can lead to rotted roots. So let the soil dry out between waterings.
You must maintain indoor temperatures between 60-75°F (16-24°C) when black ficus is there. Do not place the plant near heating/cooling vents.
Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). No need to feed the plant or soil so often during fall and winter.
The black ficus prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier to maintain the ideal humidity level.
The Black Ficus Plant is relatively resilient but can occasionally suffer from pests and diseases. Look for common pests including spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects as they can wreak havoc on the plant. The best way to ensure the plant is safe from infestation is regular inspection of the foliage for signs of infestation. If any, treat promptly with insecticides or neem oil. Leaf spot and anthracnose are also some of the fungal diseases that can affect the plant. Prevent them by maintaining good air circulation around the plant. Prune the diseased or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy.
The Black Ficus indoor plant is an excellent indoor plant for its beautiful dark foliage, easy-to-care-for nature, and ability to purify the air.
One potential drawback of the Black Ficus Plant is its sensitivity to overwatering, which can lead to root rot. It also requires bright, indirect light and can be susceptible to pests such as spider mites and mealybugs.
The Black Ficus Plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It should be away from harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burns.
Water the Black Ficus Plant only when the top soil feels dry to the touch. So watering the plant every 1-2 weeks is enough to prevent root rot.
