I had the same problem with that same croton but i have a yellow dust croton I've kept alive for 5 years so i know they need ALOT of light and water and they like humidity. They don't like to be moved or touched or even looked at. Lol

This!! I gave up on these since the last one I had. I swear every time I looked at it or got too close to it, it would lose another leaf. We had a love/hate relationship, until it won. It hated me and died on me. Most traumatizing plant ever for me. I know they definitely need lots of light. Good luck to you.

Should I keep it near window? @Nunyabzwx

Most definitely put it in a sunny window

Sure, I will do that. I will update in few days.  
Thanks for providing info. @Nunyabzwx

They do well in windows as long as there is no cold drafts coming in. But honestly, as long as the light is coming in, you don’t have to place it in the window. This one is growing like crazy across from the windows.
