How often should you water a large cactus?

To water a large cactus once a week, up to a month, will help maintain its health. If you need to water more often, it might be suffering from a problem.

Why is it bad to keep watering them?
user
It depends on the cactus. If you don’t have it near a window, it could quickly become rootbound and suffer from a lack of oxygen, which could potentially damage the root system. Watering more often, even if necessary, will cause the cactus to produce less new growth. If the cactus is rootbound, it should be moved to a better environment with more light and fresh air.
