What is a good thing to use as a soil acidifier for a repot for prayer plant?  
Not only is looking a bit rough, I’m thinking the soil it’s in is not the best. It retains zero water, the plant dries out often. And since I see roots at the bottom, it’s time anyhow.

Oh, that’s a cover pot, it’s in the hated plastic nursery pot.  
I’ll put it back in slightly larger plastic with a nice cover pot.

I’ve got Mother Earth Groundswell that has perlite, I ordered Coco Peat to mix a little of that in too. So that should be adequate?
