Just confirming, is this a croton?  If so, how do I take care of it? I've lost two leaves already (near the bottom of the stem), and you can see in this photo that another one's about to go.

Yeah, looks like a croton (proper name codiaeum) to me. My book says to mist regularly, water freely, keep away from hot sun and out of high humidity. In winter, water sparingly with tepid water. Draughts and fluctuating temperatures can cause the leaves to drop.
Hope that helps!
