Hard to say. Fish are living things and plants are living things so I'm not sure why not. The one thing that I question though is the ability to control the AMOUNT of PH balance. With both liquid or powder Up/Down you can really control how much you put in. I'm not really familiar with aquarium stuff.... is it a powder or a tablet? If tablet then I think too hard to control delivery amount.

Perhaps you could try it on one plant and see how it goes. Let us know :)

use dolomite lime as a buffer. You can use pH up and down meant for an aquarium. The pH balance is meant to balance it at 7.0, I'm not sure how it affects the soil though, like I've said dolomite lime added at the rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil will do the trick.

on the bottle it says 5 mL per 5 gallons so one ML per gallon and its a liquid and it also says something about alkaline or sum shit
 
i would buy a ph test kit, first....go to the pet store and find a test kit (5 bucks) and it will tell you if your water needs balanced in the first place....be careful though....ph has alot to do with your plants ability to to eat the food you feed it, fiyou mess with it too much they will be stressed

knowing the pH of the water your feeding your plants is KEY!
if your pH is too high then your plant is fucked. at least it is if you dont fix the problem

It really don't make no difference which one you use nOOb as long as you test it regularly and you pH is around 6.
