Does the pot have a drainage hole? also you can turn the plant a quarter turn everyday to keep it compact

Ok yes it has drainage holes, and thank you 🙏

I water my cacti probably once or twice a month, when the soil dries out completely. When you do water, fully submerge the pot (not the cactus!) in water and let it sit for about 10 minutes, then let the excess drain and you’re done!

Sounds great! I'll do that! 😊
