I am new to houseplants. My Crotons have shed their leaves. I’ve read it is due to stress. Recommendations for next steps would be greatly appreciated. I don’t give up easily lol. Thank you in advance.

I keep many crotons, they are very sensitive and if they are near any cold air or hot air they will drop leaves. They hate cold draft especially, make sure you are misting them twice a week as well.

It can also happen from lots of over or under watering

If those stems are changing color too, check the roots as a last resort!
