I've put some coffee grounds around it and watered it with a solution

acquired it from a relative) and is about 5 feet tall.


Much depends on where the water came from. I don't think the coffee
grounds or the vinegar will help much.

On the same theme just how would you "Acidify" soil to make
Rhododendrons etc more comfortable.
