Repotting advice
#Codiaeum I brought home this beauty 10 days back.. and it is still in it's original 4inch plastic nursery pot. I am.wondering on how soon should I repot it into a bigger terracotta planter. Need advice on the timing, soil type and pot size. Thanks
5” pot with drainage

You've only just brought your new plantbaby home... most plants need time to acclimate to your home's atmosphere, no different for a Croton. And NotForNothing, Croton do not react well to alot of movement and adjustment, @GoodyHope31 ... Your plantbaby is not ready for potting-up before the next GrowSeason. Too much activity causes shock to Crotons and they reward you with dropping their leaves and dying.
Exert Patience... allow your plantbaby to grow up into a new container-pot as you would grow up into new clothes. 👌🏾
Crotons thrive on neglect, meaning little interference/assistance from their PlantParents, so beings finding a sunny warm area with low traffic, they'll be a low-maintenance plant that needs infrequent WATERing, ohkay?
They grow well in Cactus/Succulent soil but you could also provide a peat and perlite 50/50 substrate mix and they'll also flourish.
