@SlinkyKaraka Welcome to Greg, Chhaya!

Crotons prefer their soil to stay consistently moist. Be sure you're not over or underwatering your plant. Keep a consistent watering schedule–water when the top 2”-3” of the soil are dry. If you accidentally let your Croton's soil dry out completely, you may see leaves go limp, droop, and possibly drop.

Croton plants develop their best colors when grown in bright light. As houseplants, they must be situated in a sunny window. They will tolerate medium light indoors, but won't grow much and foliage may revert to plain green.

Crotons love bright indirect sunlight so that their foliage will remain bright and colorful.
He might not be getting enough sun. His colors could be brighter. Does the soil hold moisture? They like it moist (but not wet)
