Hedera Algeriensis (Algerian Ivy)
Pot Size 18cm
Hedera algeriensis, commonly known as Algerian Ivy, is a fast-growing, vigorous evergreen climbing vine. It is distinguished by its large, glossy, deep green leaves—which are often broader than those of common English ivy—and its reddish-purple leaf stalks. It is a popular choice for ground cover or for training up walls and fences to create a dense, lush backdrop.
- 💧 Water: Prefers consistent moisture, especially while establishing; tolerates short dry periods once mature but prefers not to dry out completely.
- ☀️ Sun: Thrives in partial shade to full shade; can tolerate sun in cooler climates, but leaves may scorch in intense, direct afternoon heat.
- 🌡️ Temperature: Prefers mild to warm climates; hardy down to about -5°C to -10°C, though heavy frost can damage the foliage.
- ⚠️ Caution: All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, potentially causing nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The sap can also cause contact dermatitis (skin irritation) in sensitive individuals.
