So I'm in Arizona and I just bought a baby cactus...it's so cute...and I named it "Staypuff Marshmellow Man"

So I don't want little Staypuffy-wuffy to die so anyone know how much I should water him?

Well why don't you go by the rain in Arizona. Water it whenever it rains there. Then you know that the cactus is not getting any more water than it would be getting in the wild.

yea, except i live in maryland so i don't exactly know when it rains there

Not too often. Not sure how often, but not a lot.

Try these:

If the top 1/2 of the soil is dry, water it. Give it a good watering, but don't over water it. Maybe every 2 weeks. Some cacti require different care, but this is usually what I do.
