# Finally cut my PPP. All the cuttings are great and the new leaves…

_Posted by Tyler on 2023-07-14_

Finally cut my PPP. All the cuttings are great and the new leaves being put out are big and full of pink. However, many of the bottom leaves turned brown and fell off. Is this normal?

Fairly normal, yes. The oldest/lowest leaves will usually be first to die off. If they don’t fall off you can cut them off to encourage new growth and new leaves!
