Question
the green new leaves are coming off. any suggustions?

Answer
Hi Patty,

Inadequate light and improper watering are the two most common causes of Croton leaf drop.

Crotons require lots lots of direct sunlight and must be watered as soon as the top half-inch of soil feels dry.

Also be alert for spider mites.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.

If this information has been helpful, please take the time to give me a rating and nomination.
