Underwatering

Gold dust croton requires consistently moist soil to thrive, but it's also crucial not to overwater. If you notice leaf drop, it's often a sign of underwatering. To remedy this, establish a regular watering schedule, ensuring the soil is evenly moist but not soggy. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch deep; if it feels dry, it's time to water. Adjust your watering frequency with seasonal changes, as plants may require more water during warmer months and less during cooler periods.
