Overwatering
To address root rot, first, stop watering the plant and allow the soil to dry out. If the plant is severely affected, remove it from its pot and trim away any black, mushy roots before repotting in fresh, well-draining soil. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes. In the future, water the croton only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and avoid letting the pot sit in standing water.
