I spritz mine once a week with a micronutrient and keep in direct sunlight. They wilt a little bit are hanging in there at 90%.
Where do you live and how often do you water them? This can be normal for plants that are used to warmer temps. My plumeria loses all it's leaves every winter like its dying but bounces back once the weather warms up.
The top picture isn't a cactus, it is a variety of succulent. Place them in a sunny window and only water when needed. When you do water them, place in kitchen sink, give them a good drink and let drain thoroughly. To determine if they need water, stick your finger in the pot about 2" down. If damp, check again in a few days. If dry, give them a drink.
mmmm ... I believe these are succulents, not cacti ! They are going to drop leaves. Don't put them in direct sun, they will scorch. Water them good (hopefully there is a drain hole) and then not again for almost a month
Repot your succulents - they are not cacti - with potting soil. Use more soil - to within about 1 inch from the rim of the pot. You are using too little soil. Succulents don't need much water, but indoors, it's usually a drier climate, so check how dry the soil is before watering and do not put in direct sunlight.
All plants need light, good soil and warmth to grow. You need to make sure you have the correct amount of each for your plants.
