Lillies will self adjust for water depth. I would not cut any leaves
or stems off it at this time, but place it in water about 6" deeper
than what the length of the stems is now, and wait for new growth,
then lower it about 6 or 8 more inches , if its doing fine then just
place it at its depth you want it at. SOmetimes if planted or
submerged too deep to start, it can stunt or set them back, so just
take it easy with drastic changes, especially if your water is still
cool, as it tyakes longer as the water is cooler deeper than it would
be higher in the water column. I always place mine about 6" more than
the longest stem for starters..........

I agree, if it is a really strong growing lily it can be plunked down deep
and grow, but a tender new one will need some patience and slow lowering to
the depths over time. ~ jan
