How often do you water it? Does it ever get repotted?

I water it twice a week. I don't think I have ever repotted it.

They like to be a bit cramped, but try repotting and see whether that works.

They also need a period of being dry after which you break the drought by watering and then they flower . Also they dont like being moved at all when they have come into bud..or the buds will then drop off !
The British Cactus Society Website should have some more in depth info about them .
