Cactus' are used to desert conditions with minimal water. If you water too much, you can kill it. The important thing is to look at it and see if it begins to sag or look deflated. The soil should be about 50% sand for quick drainage. Cacti and succulants that are planted in pots should be watered sparingly about once a week and less if yellowing occurs as pots evaporate more quickly. Each variety and its size and age can change its water requirements.
Water shallow not deep and don't keep cactus plant constantly wet or it will rot and turn brown/gray and die. Water every two weeks to one month depending on size of pot and location.
It is best to let your cacti soil dry out all the way before watering, this way you will not risk the cacti getting root rot. If cacti are not allowed to dry out in between each time they are watered a number of problems can occur.
Stick your finger about an inch deep into the substrate and see if it is dry, if it is then water it.
You should water a cactus once a week. If the plant starts to look bad water it once every nine days.
You should water your cactus about twice a month. Be very careful with it. If you water it to much it will turn yellow. If you don't water it enough it will appear deflated.

cactus and cactus water
A cactus stores water in its stem.
Water is stored in tissue in the stem of the cactus.
no because you wouldn't be able to go inside the cactus
Because a cactus can't grow in clayey soil and there is a lot of water in the marshes, the cactus does not need a lot of water
The barrel cactus stores water in is spongy interior tissues but does not have a water reservoir of water.
Find a cactus that has nearly died of thirst and weigh it.Water the cactus until it stops absorbing water. Weigh the cactus again. Subtract the new weight from the original weight. That tells you how much water the cactus has absorbed.
Cactus have a waxy layer on them to prevent water loss and reduce transpiration
A cactus stores most of its water in its stem or body
How much of the cactus plant is water depends upon the size of the cactus and the amount of water in moving, processing and stored forms. But no matter the cactus' size and regardless of how much or little water that it holds, the cactus devotes over 90% of its inside body parts to handling, circulating and building up supplies of water.
A cactus competes with other plants for water.
