Default Potted plant pH too high -- how to adjust?

On 2005-11-30 12:10:34 -0500, (Spud Demon) said:

I have a plant that has been getting lighter green as it gets bigger. I
thought the problem was nitrogen so I added some Miracle-Gro to the water.
It didn't seem to have any effect.

Today I tested the pH of my soil, and it's 9. Recommended value is
5-7. How can I safely acidify a potted plant?

(Pointers to a FAQ page welcome ... if this is a FAQ.)
