Hi! I just recently bought this geranium plant and the blooms seem to be dying. Does anyone have any tips?

Once they bloom the flowers die and you need to dead head them. They will then grow new blooms. To deadhead you need to break the stem off at the base, by the leaves. Should snap off fairly easily. Not the leaves. Just the long skinny stem.
