It depends on the soil and where is the cactus like in a house or outside. If it is inside, then here are some tips: If the soil is sandy, you have to water it every 2-4 days. If the soil is kinda rocky, you can water it once a month. If your cactus is outside, then here: you can water it once a month a quart bucket.

Depends on the cacti, but not much because their bodies store the water. They're prickly because they need to protect their bodies because animals would try to break them open to get the juiciness of the cacti.

Lots of Strong light. Southern or western facing windows if the plant is indoors. The cactus is a desert plant where the sun shines hot and long.
