Don't let it get the afternoon sun, (they prefer shade), water daily but don't over water or you'll rot the roots. let the top of the plant dry out in between watering (but JUST the top) Fertilize once-twice a month unless the dirt has slow release fertilizer in it already (if you over fertilize, you'll burn it) Pinching the dead blooms doesn't hurt, although it's not required in order for the plant to live. It does help produce new blooms, though.
If you want to try to winter it over, go ahead and trim back the plant down to maybe 6" stems. Place it in a warm area of your garage/cool area of your house where it'll still get a little sun. Don't let the plant get below 40f. Don't fertilize it when it's cooler out... it's not growing so it doesn't need the extra nutrition. There's no guarantee's that it'll survive the winter, but it never hurts to try!
Enjoy your plant!
