I’m having a hard time growing this little cactus. Any advice? It is placed in a south facing window and I water very rarely and only when the soil is completely dry. Thanks for your help!

Cacti grow very slowly, so don’t be worried! You can use some cacti/succulent fertilizer if you aren’t already but I wouldn’t recommend fertilizing very often (and only during spring/summer/maybe fall). It sounds like the rest of your care is perfect :)
