WATER, SUN and TEMPERATURE   

Generally, caudiciforms doesn't need much water, but it depends on several factors:
  The pot's size, the amount of direct sun, the room temperature, the size of plant and it's leaf, the humidity of the air, and of coarse the genus. Small juvenile plants can't stand too long drought. See also the table over  Dormansy 

 I think I have lost most plants by watering too much. When in doubt: Don't water! 

 
 

- means no water, 1 only enough to make the soil a
 little moist, 2 well watered, 3 water all the time.
