John Perez Fertilizer Reviews
By danny - February 17th, 2011
Hey guys,
The John Perez Fertilizer e-book claims to provide recipes for homemade orchid fertilizer that produces "mind-blowing levels of beauty and value" - a very tempting offer for gardeners growing orchids.
Although we provide advertising space for this product on our website (it helps pay for our running costs), we've not personally tested John Perez's recipes ourselves and were taken aback slightly when we were informed by one of our regular readers that it may be a scam.
We briefly considered pulling advertising for the product because, of course, we don't want to be associated with partners that may not be completely kosher. However, after a little thought, we decided that this would be a knee-jerk reaction and so decided to ask our loyal readership for their opinions.
Click here to take a look at John Perez's orchid fertilizer website.
Browsing the web, there are a number websites and forums that question the integrity of John Perez's claims for his fertilizer recipes.
However, looking at our own records, the number of commissions we have received from orchid growers purchasing John Perez's recipes goes into double figures and not a single one of them have requested a refund, which suggests that the home-made fertilizers do have some merit (John offers a 60-day money-back guarantee that is handled by a highly trustworthy third-party and I know for a fact that the third party would swiftly return a buyers money if they asked).
So, I'd like to leave it with you guys. If you've purchased and tried out John's fertilizer recipes for yourself, I'd love to get some feedback from you (you can do this using the comments box below) and we'll try to ascertain if this is a legitimate and decent product or not.
Thanks in advance for all your feedback :)

I bought a copy of the ebook and although I haven't tried the recipes yet, the content is good and the ingredients he suggests are sound from a scientific perspective and should work (i'm a chemist,by the way).

Good morning,
I've not used the recipes myself but our local orchid club purchased a copy of Jon Perez's book on behalf of our members (I won't mention the name of our club because I'm not sure if sharing it within the organisation is allowed under the copyright).
Most of the fertilizers are easy to make and contain ingredients that are readily available to most people. Saying that, there is nothing particularly groundbreaking and most people with a half decent knowledge of fertilizer would be able to create something similar themselves. I guess what your paying for is the proportions of ingredients that Jon has discovered to work best with growing orchids after meticulous trial and error.
A fellow member of our orchid club has used Jon's recipes and he has highly recommended them to the rest of us. He brought in an example of one of his plants (a dendrobium) and it looked beautiful and very very healthy and vibrant. A few of our other members are in the process of trying the recipes, so I'll let you know how they got on after our next meeting.
With regards the price, it does look a little steep to me but I suppose it's a small price to pay if it "does what it says on the tin". Fortunately, I don't have to buy a copy!
Hope you found this useful.
Yours,
F. Brassington
