you COULD, but for houseplants theres definitely better options. I would suggest using something that promotes more foliage growth then flowering/fruiting. You want something thats equal or higher in nitrogen in this case. A simple 1-1-1 ratio is usually quite accessible and will do the trick.

I’ll try to make it brief & not too boring 😅
The NPK are the plant macronutrients and ratio is the amount of Nitrogen (N) to Phosphorus (P) to Potassium (K) relative to each other. It’s not the strength, that’s determined by how much you mix. Typically N is for foliage, above ground growth, and the green color. P supports roots and flowering. K is necessary for overall biochemistry.
I would not recommend this for a house plant as its ratio is significantly lower in Nitrogen. And feed too often with a K that high can lead to K accumulation. Look for a balanced ratio plant food, or even better just use an MSU Orchid food. Any brand will do. It has much more than just the essentials & it’s what I feed all my plants
