>>967745Make a pot of coffee, let it cool, dilute it 1 part coffee and 1 part water, use that as your fertilizer. Coffee grounds are N2.1% P0.3% K0.3%. That is the fastest way to give them nitrogen. Make sure to check the soil acidity. Too much coffee water will make it acidic. The soil pH should be 7.0 and 8.5 for aloe. Use the coffee water once every 2-3 waterings until your nitrogen levels are sufficient using that tester kit.
