Hi, someone gave me quite a big cactus arm that broke off the main
plant about a year ago.

They say it's still possible to plant it and grow it.

Is this true? I've planted arms that have only just dropped off with
considerable success.

I've planted it in cactus compost, I'm just wondering how often I
should water it. And in what quantity. I haven't watered it yet.

Any advice appreciated!

Assuming that the cut end had dried out and calloused over, I'd put it in
dry silver sand and leave it in a place that isn't too cool or too
warm(around 15 - 20°C), with reasonable light.
