Cactus come from dry locations. You may need to water only once a month, do not water unless the soil is really dry. Many cacti are able to go 2-3 mo. with out water at all, just keep this tip in mind before you water again.

Fairy Castle Cactus is a small, slow-growing cactus native to Brazil. It needs full sun to light shade in well-draining soil. Water them well, but allow them to dry out completely between waterings. They respond well to mild fertilizers. I wouldn't let the temperature fall below 65 degrees.
