I bought my first croton ‘gold dust’ plant not too long ago and since it being home its leaves have dropped and gone crispy.  
Does anyone know if this is revivable and how I can do that?  
I was so excited for this little guy😭

They need soil with good drainage, regular fertilizer and lots of direct sunlight. They like higher humidity as well. It’s hard to determine the issue. Dry leaves indicate under watering and possibly low humidity. Check the roots.
