There is no specific answer. It depends on the plant, the soil, the light, the planter. I have many succulents and some cacti. Some are as short as two weeks. Most are every 3 to 4 weeks. One echeveria is every 7 weeks.

I have a tiny cactus, and I just water it every month or so.. it's doing fine

It depends on species, but for mine, Christmas cactus is a tropical and gets watered as often as most non-succulent tropicals. My other cactus is a barrel-like type, which only gets watered once or twice a month
