Normal for lower polyps to die off?

[legrunt]

Got a frag of pocci... Noticed the polyps underneath are not really extending as much as the ones on top. Is this normal? I'm talking about the spots at the base, as opposed to the ones on the "branches"...

It is normal for any shaded areas of the Poci to do this as they do not get enough light once it gets larger you will notice the branches closest to the stalk will do it as well

Oh... Ok. Thanks!

Perfectly normal. As they get bigger and more shading happens, more toward the base will die off. My green stylo does this as well.

Is that when bailout is more likely for the lower guys?
