For reference, this baby was moved to take a better photo. This is not where she lives. She sits in my bathroom window.  
Why have all of the leaves dropped? Is it fall time in my house? I seem to have a little bit of new growth at the top coming in but now we’re getting pretty leggy looking. Lol

Crotons thrive in full sun at least 8 hours a day. That’s also a cure for leggy plants seeking more light.

Leaf dropping can make a slow grower look leggy. You may have to address if any condition is causing it to drop leaves like watering issues, being root bound, slow drainage or too high humidity in the bathroom which can slow both the plant and soil from drying out. 🍀🪴

It was thriving outside for the summer but since I brought it in for the winter…. 🤦🏽‍♀️

No idea. My croton is a big droopy mess. Actually, it’s a \*little\* droopy mess. It only has like 2-3 leaves left. I can’t remember exactly right now. I’m thinking of lopping it and waiting until Spring to see if it comes back. I checked the roots and they’re good so now problems there. Probably not enough light.
