I recently got a croton and it’s already dropped two leaves! Any advice or ideas of what I could be doing wrong? It’s in a south facing window that is partially covered by my roof, and I am following plantas watering schedule. Any help would be appreciated!
In my experience, Planta suggests watering too much. Use your finger to test the soil. If it’s dry about 2 inches in, then you can water. I also think these need a decent amount of humidity. Could also be too much light, but I’m less certain about that.

Crotons like the soil to dry before watering again. It thrives in at least 8 hours of full sun per day, tropical temperatures and higher humidity.

I have had a couple of these in the past and I lost both to spider mites. I don’t know if they’re extra susceptible or if I was just getting them contaminated. But check closely for any webbing!
