Fruit trees are generally tricky i find. Apricots like lots of water as long as the pot has good drainage, but generally in winter, plants need less water. How often are u watering it?

Also if you drink tea, put the leaves in your apricot pot after. Tea leaves are high in potassium and phosphorous blah blah etc. Most plants loooovveeeee tea leaves and also sometimes coffee grinds

Just wanted to drop in and say to be aware of what kind of tea it is! A lot of blends have high acidity, for example. Simple black tea? Go for it!

Which teas are super acidic? Also, some plants like acidic soil, so could be helpful to know

Almost all teas will lean acidic, but fruit-based teas will almost always be even more acidic. Lemon tea is also an obvious one.

And you're right about some plants preferring acidic soil! Most berry bushes, for example, do great with it.
