my lovely little gold star croton isn't looking too happy :( it's leaves are droopy and the bottom few are turning yellow.. dr planta says it could need to be repotted or could be a watering issue, but i wanted to see if anyone had advice before i do anything to it

It’s totally natural for their bottom leaves to eventually turn yellow so that shouldn’t be too worrying. But if you notice that it’s drooping I definitely agree with Planta. Watering related issue that’s causing your plant to not being able to wick up enough water. Could be drought, overwatering it that it just needs to get a slightly larger pot ☺️
