Please help me ID this species even though it's no longer in the wild so I can better figure out how to care for it!

You're the best!! Thank you so much!!
That looks to me like a Croton of some kind, there are very many varieties, you mostly see the large leaved colorful ones that have a lot of red and yellows. But there are very green ones with corkscrew or slender leaves. Like this one. Leaves shouldn't be droopy:

They are tropical so basically lots of sun and moisture.
