They actually make a succulent/cactus potting soil. I water my cactus and succulent when they are completely dry. I put the pot they are in in a small dish of water and leave for about 1-2 hours. They will drink all they need. Then take the pot out. Don't overwater, they are full of weather anyway, and overwatering can cause them to rot.

cactus soil,water when totally dry
I just use a good quality house plant soil. Let dry down between waterings.
Use the soil for cacti. Wal-Mart usually has it but this time of year you might have to ask for help in finding it.
