How often should you water a cactus?

[Edit]
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.
