Hey, i need help! So i bought a Croton about two ish weeks ago. When i bought it, it was heavily root bound so i had to repot. i watered when the the soil was dry then let it dry some more before i watered yesterday (it wasn't completely bone dry). The leaves have been dropping the past few days and i'm not sure what's wrong - i'm new to this plant and know they can be a a struggle lol
Did you refresh the soil? If the soil is too dry it might’ve been hydrophobic and didn’t intake enough water. Or it might be in shock from the repot, some plants hate having their roots messed with.
