I've heard that silly little chestnut many times and its absolute bull crap.

Most of the succulent plants in cultivation aren't from Arizona and abiding
by their weather would not provide accurate info about how to care for them.

You might want to start he "I water that plant 3 to 5 days a week" and
think about what the natural habitat of a cactus is compared to what you
are providing.

A friend grew cactus quite successfully in the NYC suburbs by keeping an
eye on Arizona weather and watering the cactus whenever it rained there.
