My live plants are losing leaves ????

Hello ........ three days ago I put 16 lbs of "Fluval Stratum" substrate in my 65gal aquarium and added quite a few live plants ( see photo ). I have noticed each day there are a few leaves falling off & floating in the tank ???? Don't think it is the fish that are doing it ??? Just wondered if this is normal for a few leaves to fall off after a fresh planting ???? I am running dual T5's and a DIY CO2 in this tank ........ Please reply if you can help . Thanks .
