@FragrantDodder I would add some tags to this and repost. #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove These tags will certainly help serve you better .
BE CAREFUL when watering moon cacti. The slightest overwater can be too much and kill the dragon fruit base.

It is better to underwater this plant than to overwater it. I water mine about once a month.
Hey @FragrantDodder I agree with @sarahsalith this Cactus prefers to be dryer than wet only water when the soil is COMPLETELY dry at the soonest but you can wait a while after that as well.

You can just add water to the saucer but this looks too small for the pot maybe one a bit bigger would be better or you want water from the top and the saucer with catch any excess water that drains out. I would then throw any water that is in the saucer away at the end of the day. To me that pot looks a bit on the big side so the soil will hold water for quite a while.

You can also try #cactusclique or more cactus specific issues as well as the succulentsquad.
The same way they get water in the desert. Don’t add water. Make it as similar to its native environment as possible. It will collect water from a cold front coming into contar with a cold front if it is outside. I’m afraid to touch any of mine after they got rained on.😭
