I think you are asking if you can use Epsom salt as food for succulents. You would mix 1 tablespoon of E/salts to one gallon of water and you should give them this once per month and regular water the rest of the time.
Epsom salts are a great addition to your succulents to keep them healthy.

Here's one recipe that helps:
1 12-ounce can or bottle of beer
1 cup of Epsom salts
1/2 cup of ammonia
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of molasses
mix and store in bottle, no need to refrig. 1tsp per gal when you water.

Epsom salts will dry out the succulents roots. I have used horse manure tea and cow manure tea. It's less messy when the manure is dry. I put it in cheese cloth and tie it up, then put in water to steep like you would tea. I use the water to feed the succulent. If this is not something you want to do then you can buy a succulent fertilize. Just remember most fertilizers are made with salt so read the label ingredient.
I've been having problems growing succulents, i don't know if it's bc it's totally opposite then growing anything else & terms like "abuse ", "neglect" or what, but these especially. I just bought them 1 day ago & they're already dropping leaves?? I'm having trouble with what type of soil, Help!?
Giving succulents too much water too often will swell their leaves and, if they do not get a chance to dry out, cause them to drop off the plant. Wait until soil is almost completely dry and the leaves look a little limp before watering, then water thoroughly, until you see trickles coming out of the bottom of the pot. Good luck!
