Vinegar helps a plant grow. Vinegar is an acid and it is a known fact that an acid is essential in any living things life. I did an experiment for 3 days using vinegar. The thing is, if you put too much vinegar, or anything for that matter, into a plant, it will die pretty quickly. But if you put just the right amount, like 10 drops of vinegar, it will stay alive for about 10 days.

Answer

There are many folk-cures and hear-say remedies for growing plants, many if not most will end in weakening if not killing the plant, the best recourse is to know the plant, know what type of soil it likes, and what kind of nutrients it requires, (well balanced nutrient filled diet) the simple course of action would be: Plain water, Air, Sunlight [full/partial/defused] and a mild form of fertilizer, keeping in mind not to over water or under water.

Another answer

For distilled vinegar, it depends on how you use it. Vinegar contains low concentrations of acetic acid. Yes, lowering soil pH below optimal levels can be detrimental. This leads to its popularity as a non-toxic herbicide. However, numerous plants require acidic soil. Vinegar will free accumulating minerals from the soil for plants to use, but this will also deplete the soil. Using cider vinegar can counter the effects of mineral depletion. Many use distilled vinegar as means to counter the effects of hard water.

For cider vinegar I will quote:

The following USDA website indicates that cider vinegar contains some essential mineral nutrients, including significant amounts of potassium (730 mg/liter), phosphorus (80 mg/liter), calcium (70 mg/liter) and magnesium (50 mg/liter). Compare these numbers to those for a Hoagland Solution at the bottom. Note that the USDA tables use units of mg per 100 grams. Multiply by 10 to get standard units of mg/liter.

Vinegar is basically acid. Depends on the plant, as some like acidic conditions, and if the soil was too alkaline, vinegar would make it grow better. But if the plant liked alkaline conditions, vinegar would kill it.

Also depends on the strength of vinegar solution, how often applied, etc.

- Don't use vinegar as a pesticide. You are more likely to kill your plant than any pests.
