Yes these are very quick growers, in hindsight I should have just given that plant a basket all by itself. Mine do not flower year round it shuts off when it gets hot and starts again when it cools down... I have several plants that are filling out small pots made with pieces of this plant that fell off... been giving those away... very rewarding plant and unlike many Mammillarias in the climate here not difficult to grow at all.
I get these hanging baskets from Amazon - Fiskars (if you want I can dig out the link). They come with metal hanging hardware, so now I just have to replace the basket every 3-4 years when the plastic wears out due to the UV exposure, which should be less in a greenhouse. Any other hanging baskets with string/rope/plastic hanging hardware never last very long (but are cheaper so I get those and just re-use the ring and chain from these), I will come home and find the bowl overturned on the ground some day and the cacti scattered around.
