Some people say cactus is one of the easiest plants to have, but mine have died. I wonder if I gave it too much water. What is the general protocol for watering a cactus successfully?

How often does it rain in the desert where cacti thrive?Probably not such a good plant for a Portland girl. No wonder I watered it to much. Mine did get soft and rot too. Maybe if I get another one I will just water it once a month and see how that goes.
My roses have to be watered once a week. I'm pretty sure that cacti need even less water. I had had one when I was a teenager, but it died It became very soft and started rotting.
I have a cactus plant and I water it about once a week. It seems happy with that amount of water. I never read up on the subject, but I would assume a cactus can survive on even less water than what I give mine.Some people say cactus is one of the easiest plants to have, but mine have died.
