Curable????  
My Croton experienced a draft and became droopy. I put it near a plant light but it started to stiffen so I moved it back to its location. Can it be saved?? 😞

They hate dry soil and that causes them to drop leaves and don’t worry if it drops all it’s leaves, because mine does that so I just watered it more frequently to keep the soil moist and my croton happy, so it doesn’t drop any more leaves.

The soil isn’t dry. It has always been happy until we had a cold front come through and I think it got too cold in the window. I now have a towel in that window which is typically what I do in winter and it is usually fine. I haven’t made any changes. This has me perplexed 🤔

This was about a month ago and it had grown since then 😓

Then it might a problem with how you are watering it or the humidity is too low.

ooof idk. crotons are really hard. they don’t like change of any kind and it sounds like it has experienced quite a bit. i’m concerned also about the fact that it’s lost all its color. i don’t think there’s any coming back from this unfortunately. they’re notorious for slowly dying — punishing you 😅

I wish I had help but I recently had two of my three crotons go from being completely fine and thriving to dropping like flies I’ve tried to put them in a warmer spot w bottoms watering but is still dropping its leaves 😔
