The bottom leaf on my fiddle leaf fig have lost there shine and there is new growth on the top. Is this normal? Do the bottom leave fall of when there's new growth? Thanks for any help

Ok thanks for letting me know.

The lack of shine may be due to dust gathering. Cleaning the leaves with a soft cloth and water can help them be shiny again :)
