It could be that the plant is now redirecting energy to the new growth and the lower ones are suffering because of it haha. Out with the old in with then new kinda situation lol, It happens. Just trim the leaves so the plant can focus energy on growing up. If it continues to happen it could be that the plant isn’t getting enough water, if the leaves are turning yellow then brown it’s being overwatered. Hope this helps!

Lack of humidity and or tap water can cause this.
