Hedera canariensis, commonly called Algerian ivy, is a fast-growing trailing or climbing vine known for its larger, broader leaves compared to English ivy. Native to North Africa and the Canary Islands, it produces thick, slightly glossy foliage that can be solid green or variegated with cream margins. What makes Algerian ivy stand out is its bold leaf size and vigorous growth, giving a fuller, more tropical look than Hedera helix while still maintaining that classic ivy trailing habit.
Place Hedera canariensis in an east window or a few feet back from a south or west window where it receives bright, even light without prolonged harsh direct sun. It can tolerate lower light, but growth will slow and spacing between leaves will increase. Under grow lights, use 5000K to 6500K and position the light about 10 to 14 inches above the plant. It performs best around 150 to 500 foot-candles. More light will keep it dense and full, while lower light will cause longer, leggier vines.
Allow the soil to dry about halfway down before watering, and always check deeper in the pot rather than relying on the surface. Hedera canariensis does not tolerate staying overly wet, but it also should not be left bone dry for long periods. If leaves start to curl, crisp, or drop, it is often a sign of underwatering or dry air. If leaves yellow and fall off, especially closer to the base, the soil is likely staying too wet. Good airflow is important, and like other ivies, it can be prone to spider mites if conditions are too dry.

Beautiful plants I always buy my plants through rooted plant shop. that’s my go to shop
The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.
What a cool way to discover new plants! I love it!
I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
Beautiful plant. Shipping was great. Plant was well protected for shipping. Even came with an instruction card on what you should do when the plant you unpacked it.
