information: Algerian Ivies are available in two
forms... solid green and variegated. Algerian Ivies are relatively
easy houseplants to grow.
The solid green variety does not require as much light as the
variegated variety. This rule seems to hold true with most
houseplants. Algerian Ivy should thrive if placed near any window
except north. The solid green variety will do nicely in a northern
exposure.
Allow the soil of Algerian Ivy to dry
down on the surface before watering, then water until you see
seepage comes from the drain holes. It is important to water any
plant all the way around the pot, not just on one side.
Feed monthly with any quality houseplant food while actively
growing. Feed quarterly when inactive.
Algerian Ivy can be propagated by placing stem cuttings in
water or moist vermiculite. If propagated in vermiculite cover the
cutting and container with a clear plastic bag.
Common houseplant pests include: Aphids, Foliar Mealy bug, and
Spider mites.
They are usually found in
6" containers and hanging baskets. Root cuttings in a container of water.
