Subject: Help with brown drosophyllum leaves

Hi all,
I have two plants of drosophyllum which are one year old. Since their
germination from seed I always kept them in the same sunny place. About
every week the lower leaves (i.e. the older ones) start becoming grey/brown
(i.e. they dry up) so I cut them off because they're obviously dead. My
question is: is this behaviour normal??
If it can help I keep them under full sun and in a compost of about 60%
sand stones 40% peat moss in a plastic vase 10 cm tall.
Appreciate any help or suggestions.

thanks in advance
