Check in the cracks and crevices for mealy bugs, spider mites or other pests.  
It’s helpful if you add more info about your plant. What’s your watering schedule, how much light does it get, have you repotted, etc. It’s hard to just look at a pic sometimes and determine the correct care we could suggest for your plant 😊

If you don't see any pests, droopy leaves without browning usually suggests overwatering.

“What’s wrong, Croton Petra?”  
Every CP: “Life.”

These are so finicky \& sensitive. When mine started drooping, it was due to the temperature change as I kept mine outside. Be careful. Try not to overlove it or make any drastic changes in care.

Thanks! Unfortunately I had picked it up the same day as my garden plants and it probably just got overwatered with the other plants
