The only way foliar feeding would work on succulents (not the epiphytic types) is if the fertilizer dripped off the leaves and landed on the ground. Smiling I think only epiphytes absorb nutrients through their leaves. They aren't rooted into anything - the roots photosynthesize and the leaves absorb nutrients.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
