Australian Cactus
Apparently they measure out very small amounts of water for each cactus in Australia to save water.

We prefer to water less often, but with more water. Drench the cactus and let the water drain away, never sitting in water. We water cactus only every 2 to 4 weeks. That’s what we do. But then, we don’t live in Australia where the water drains from the bowl counterclockwise.
