The bottom leaves keep drying up and dropping but I’m still getting new growth from the middle? What am I doing wrong?

Hi! How much direct sun/light do these guys get per day?

Around 10 hours

What a pretty succulent!

My experience with succulents is that’s what they’ll do— bottom leaves will dry and die but to make room for new leaves grow in the middle
