I was given a bouquet of flowers for my birthday, my children ordered me delivery from here https://myexpressflowers.co.uk/ but unfortunately they didn't put fertilizer for the bouquet in order for it to stand for a very long time. Tell me what I can add into the water and how to take care of the flowers?

A bit late now as I expect the flowers have faded but next time also try snipping half an inch off the bottom of the flower stalks every couple of days. It helps keep them fresh and stops mushy bits of stalk gradually polluting the water.

Or of course, completely refresh the water regularly.
