Now that you mention the name, I'm certain it is a Kalanchoe.  I remember there being a tag on it at one point.  

I'm a city kid and don't have a lot of experience with gardening.  Other flowering plants I've had, like geraniums, for instance, were easy to dead-head.  I would break the dead flowers off at the node.  These, however, don't have obvious places to break them off. I will need to trim them with shears and I don't know how far down to cut them.  I guess I'll just have to be bold and experiment.

In the meantime, I will Google it and see what it says.

Thanks, everyone, for the advice.

On the kalanchoe just snip the stem right behind the faded flower. How warm are your winters there in CA? You might be able to put it outdoors into the ground .

Mine looked like yours when I first adopted it.  I think the brutal sun on my back porch and the high temps might be too much for it.
