Hi, my two crotons here have been getting lots of sunlight. i need to replant them but was wondering why their colored leaves (which i love) are drooping more than the new growth? Not sure if i need to change spots or more water or what

So variegated leaves have less chlorophyll so they’ll struggle to make themselves food. I use a grow light to supplement additional light so that my plant can send nutrients over to the leaves that aren’t so great at creating energy. Hope this helps!

Mines does that too. More towards the bottom and colored ones. I just water it and good to go. Its been so hot where I live I need to water every 2 days.
