hey if i were you i would just remove it, but your not me. so its really up to you. i have notice in the past that bugs love the leafs that are on the ground touching the soil. just remove it and throw it in a compost pile.

Are they healthy-looking or yellowed? Plant got enough water? Pot dried out enough between watering? Drooping leaves are your plant telling you something, don't just jump and cut them off you lose your fastest and most reliable indicator of overall health, it's the only way you can see what's happening down there in the pot/soil. Only cut them if you are sure you've treated the plant for whatever it is showing you to treat it for, you'll have to look at more signs though to know if treatment has been effective.
Healthy happy plants don't droop leaves onto the ground. In a deficient plant it happens because the plant is metabolising the leaf to make up for the deficiency, or at least try to. Cutting it off will only make the plant take it from somewhere else, whereby making your problem a little worse really.
A pic would help everybody help you better mate.

Ok ill see if I can find some pictures. But while I do my plants are healthy at least as healthy as a noob cold think there green no yellowing unless its in the lowest portion of the plant that gets no light(this is normal from what I have read) and te ones that are sagging is cuz of the weight on the branch not due to a deficiency at least nothing I can see. But the pros can really let me know what's going on.

This is the amnisa in the ground planted same time as the pots.
And this is a amnisa in the pot.
i can't really finder many good pictures showing what I'm talking about
this was from a few weeks ago but you can see how low the leafs are to the ground? This one in particular is the one that's always has leafs on the ground cuz it's so short and bushy

Yes it is true. Many of the pathogens that can cause a plant harm are soil born. And the leaves are the place many of them enter the plant. I would remove them.

They look great! Ya cut them, i bet it's only the ones not getting much light really low down, right? They would fall off soon anyway. Plants look happy.

Thanks man. Appreciate it! And it's the lower leafs but there getting light there jus on the lowest branches so they jus sag down more and then after awhile will start to touch the ground. They pretty much jus hover over the ground anyways. But once there is alot of growth they touch

No Problemo! So yeah a little trim will do no harm, they're not drooping because of a problem so go for it!
