Identification

• This croton's long, pointed leaves are green and white, unlike other cultivars, which makes 'Tamara' a distinctive variety.
  
  

Benefits

• Crotons thrive without much care, growing outdoors in tropical climates and as indoor plants in other regions. They can do well in limited or direct sunlight and need only a little water to survive.
  
  

Considerations

• Outdoor crotons survive best in U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 10 and 11, according to Floridata.com. However, indoors 'Tamara' grows well if misted on a regular basis to simulate the humidity of a tropical climate.
