It looks like you have a Croton Petra. That is one of my most favorite plants I have because of the brilliant colors. Today, I actually spent some time with her: I completely unpacked her soil and separated her roots into three separate sections and turned her from one big gorgeous plant to two still large looking gorgeous plants.

Anyhow, the following tip is what will work, if it’s gonna work: see where I circled in blue? Those are nodes, where new growth shoots out from. Slice a thin layer off the top to expose fresh green, then apply a thin layer of keiki paste (rooting hormone sold on Amazon), and wait for those nodes to hopefully reactivate and push through some new stems/roots/shoots!

Crotons need direct sunlight at least 6 hours a day in the warmer months. Fertilizer will help it thrive. They like higher humidity as well.
