New Plants Loosing Leaves

[gizmo001i]

Hi,
As some of you will know, I have just started a planted tank. The question I have is that as expected, some of the plants are loosing there leaves as they have been newly planted fully submerged into my tank. These plants are red water rose, green water rose etc. This I was told to expect and that the plants would recover in a little while and should produce even better foliage. What i need to know however, is what do I do to the plants once the leaves have fallen off. Do I leave the stems as they are, or do I prune the stems back ready for new growth. Also, with the amazon sword plant, some of the leaves are going brown, which I was also warned about. Do i remove these leaves or just wait for them to fall off naturally. Any advice will be very appreciated.
Many thanks
Ian

Prune off dead leaves and stems as close to the base of the plant as possible,
