Culture
Algerian ivy is quite salt tolerant and like other ivies, adaptable to most soil types.It flourishes best in rich, moist soil, and is not fussy about pH.
Light: Algerian ivy tolerates part sun to shade.
Moisture: It likes an average to moist soil.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 6-10. Algerian ivy is subject to damage at temperatures much below 15°F (-9°C). The variegated forms are generally less hardy (to zone 7) than the all green ones.
Usage
Algerian ivy is most commonly used as a ground cover in warm climates, where the lush leaves steal the show underneath trees or growing up their trunks. Old vines can become quite woody. When making a choice between Algerian and English ivy in zones 9 or 10, bear in mind the Algerian type grows more rapidly and becomes established a good bit faster. Algerian ivy can be used to good effect as a house plant, too.
