Black King Kong, grayish red bark, greasy. Leaf blade long stipitate, alternate, thickly leathery, long ovate to ovate, 8-30 cm long and 7-9 cm wide, apex rounded, base rounded, entire, dark green, shiny, lateral veins numerous and more parallel; stipules solitary, lanceolate, covered with terminal bud, up to 1x2 of leaves, purple-red, detached into annular ruins. The female is the same plant, the fruit is born in pairs in the axils of deciduous leaves, yellowish green when ripe, ovate-long ovate; achenes oval, with verrucose protuberances.

Black King Kong is an evergreen tree of Moraceae, native to India and Malaysia, so it is nicknamed Indian rubber tree. The backbone of the rubber tree is more prominent, less branched, and has aerial roots. Simple leaves alternate, leaf blade long ovate, thick leathery, bright green, lateral veins many and parallel, young leaves red, petiole stout. Black King Kong likes water and should spend the winter indoors! Generally, water is watered about once a week, and summer should be decided according to the weather and the humidity of the basin soil.

The reason why the leaves of Black King Kong withered:

The light is too dim. The development environment of Black King Kong requires light of about 10000-20000 lux. When the light is too low, the poor ventilation will show signs of yellow leaves and fallen leaves.

It's too cold. The suitable temperature for Black King Kong development is 20-30 ℃, and the development is the most desolate at 25-30 ℃. The development is poor when it is less than 10 ℃, and it is easy to suffer frost injury when it is below 0 ℃. If you are hit by a cool breeze indoors, there will be signs of yellow leaves and fallen leaves.

It's not watered properly. Black King Kong likes water, but is not resistant to water stains. When it shows signs of drought damage, when there is no oxygen in the roots, it will show signs of yellow leaves and fallen leaves. Watering should abide by the yardstick of "see dry and wet". Don't water too often.

If the height of the plant of Black King Kong is not very high, it can be inherited and maintained under the maintenance of deformities, and the fallen leaves will be contained in the future, but when the plant is more than 1.2 meters, you can consider to arrange it outdoors or on the balcony for two weeks, when the development tends to be deformed, leave it 20-50 cm (height depends on your appreciation) to be cut off, and the truncated branches can be inserted into the river sand and placed in a cool place. With sufficient humidity, it will become a new black King Kong plant in about 2 months. After being cut off, several branches can sprout from the lower part of the stem, making the plant shape double plump and elegant.
