Unlike actual cactus, the Christmas cactus isn't completely drought tolerant. It needs watering but, like a succulent, it can store water in its leaves. So allow the soil in the plant's container to dry at least half-way down into the soil before watering again.
I wasn't sure, but, yes, it is!

yes it is in the succulent family.
Over watering can kill them. I know, I did it. But they are beautiful plants. Best of luck.
Yes Christmas cactus is a succulent. It's very important to keep them in a cool, dark place. They are opposite from usual plants. They require 8 hrs. light and double that (16) hrs dark.
sorry I didn't see the other posts so II guess they are succulents.
Yes
Yes, but somewhat different than the normal cacti. Google it.
