I have found that it is always best to deadhead most flowers down to the next available leaf cluster or branch 

If all the flowers are done you can let it go dry.  In the summer, I plant it again outsidfe and mark it with a stick, it comes up another time and larger than before with more buds.............after it stops blooming, I dig it up dry it off and put in another pot with clean inside soil and keep it in a cool dark dry place in the house and it will start again next spring. Happy Spring!
