Hello plant parents!

This croton mammi shed few leaves from the middle, bottom leaves are good, leaves on top are good but weirdly middle leaves were fallen, any idea why that might be? And what is the solution?

Also I have this plant for few months now but don’t see any growth, its pretty much the same as I bought it, any suggestions please.

Thank you 😊

Crotons like LOTS of light. The more the better. It’ll also lose some leaves when its stock starts to bark up. I recommend just trying to give it more light and keep an eye on it for now.

Also they are dramatic! I repotted one and all the leaves fell off! I had to cut the stem way back and now I have 3 new leaves.
