Crotons can droop their leaves if the plants are stressed. Stress can be changed in the plant's location or if you have transplanted your croton, shock will cause leaf loss. If this happens, wait for some time, the plant will revive itself. If the tissue underneath the main stem is green, your plant is alive.

The croton leaves can also droop due to over-watering or under-watering. Over-watering can cause the leaves to wilt, only water when the top 1 inch of the soil becomes dry. A pot with several drainage holes and free-draining soil will prevent over-watering.

Due to under-watering, the bottom leaves of the plant dry out and fall off. 

When you bring your croton plant from the shop's greenhouse to your home, the plant needs some time to adjust to environmental changes and may lose leaves. In a few weeks, the plant will begin to produce new growth.

Brown Leaves: General dryness and browning of leaves can be treated by giving more water or misting the plant.

Croton Leaves Curling

This may happen due to improper watering and lack of humidity. Check water in the soil. Spray water on leaves if humidity is low. If your croton is indoors, then you may use a humidifier.
