The new foliage will come in from the center and the old will just turn brown. When the bottom leaves turn brown, I give them a gentle tug and pull them away. If they don't pull away easily give them a day or two and they will. Most of mine take about a week before I notice any difference.
The fans in the pots seem to need more water than those ground planted...depending on the amount of rain you get. I try to keep my potted plants semicovered(on my deck) for now, so that I can monitor the amount of water each day. We've had a lot of rain and don't want them to rot before they get started.
Bonnie sends great plants and your will be humming along in a few days.
