It's generally known in North America as the English Ivy. Hedera canariensis variegata has creamy white dappled on its foliage and is usually planted in California. Ivy will grow well in regular garden soil. They can live in full sun, as long as they are given enough water, and in semi-shade, but in cold climates, they are liable to suffer from winter burn if they are in sunny, exposed areas. It's not a good idea to plant Ivies along walls that are hot and sunny.
Ivies are extremely easy to increase by cuttings.
In mild climates they may be planted directly outside in a sheltered, shaded area. When they are grown as houseplants, the cuttings can be planted in a pot of moist sand or vermiculite and covered with a bell or mason jar, so the atmosphere is kept humid until they root. They will also root if they are placed in a jar of water. The mature type of Tree Ivy may be grafted onto rooted cuttings of the trailing kinds. This should be done in a greenhouse in the spring.
