Yessss! Looks very healthy!  
I don’t have a hard time with these either, they’re one of my very favorites.  
I think climate helps a lot.  
I live where it’s very humid and they get full spectrum lighting all day.

Years ago, I tried to rescue one for a friend but sadly it was too far gone by the time I got it. And I wasn’t as experienced rehabbing plants back then. Her croton had declined because she was letting it dry out to the point of leaves drooping and falling off. And it had spider mites (probably targeting the plant because it was weakened). So I suggested not letting it get to the point of drooping before watering yours. And high humidity helps keep spider mites at bay generally. I’ve seen crotons growing happily as landscaping plants in Florida, so they must like lots of light and humidity

Yours looks great!! Sometimes we just have to find the type of plant that vibes with our care styles and home conditions ☺️

I live in NS so last summer I put this out on our deck thinking it would like the humidity. It did so poorly last summer and lost several leaves.

It did get spider mites after that, but but I brought it back inside and put it back in front of this window, it grew again like crazy!

I will never remove it from this spot again!

Beautiful!! I think they’re thought of as difficult because they’re often labeled as a “low-light” plant when really that’s not the case! They need plenty of light. Yours looks like it’s in a great spot ☀️

They’re tricky because they don’t like change. Whatever you’re doing is working!! Congrats — I love her!!
