Never 'pull' off dead blooms. Always take caution and 'pinch' them off. Usually with lilies, it is not absolutely necessary to pinch off dead blooms. Due to the weight of the blooms, they will fall off on their own (unlike other plants that have smaller blooms that don't necessarily fall off, yet die away). The only downside to this is that you will be required to pick up all the fallen debris. Removing dead blooms and leaves fosters growth of small buds and blossoms. If you have the time, go ahead and carefully remove the dead blooms.
When the flower turns yellow, pinch it off at the base of the bloom. Be careful as there may be other buds in the making at this site. And yes, you should remove them to encourage more blooms.

Crotons WILL flower. If planted outdoors in the right conditions it will bloom repeatedly throughout the year. It is rare for a croton to bloom indoors so consider yourself lucky if it does. If your croton begins to look distressed during bloom, pinch the blooms off.
cut the plant back when you see it is ready to blossom.
