agreed completely.Maybe it's just my conditions but, I find edwardsiana to be easier and less finicky than hamata.

Hmmm... Interesting.
I guess it depends from plant to plant as well. The Wistuba clones are renound for being slow growing and finicky, but then I was just told stories of a clone that someone grows of N. hamata that is supposedly "as vigorous as ventricosa". Soooo... Get your hands on one of those!
This has not been my experience. I received my two AW clones when they were less than 2" across (& w/o any roots). They both grew like weeds from day one. A SG clone I received in the past 2 years has grown similarly. Unlike other species, the plants have also pitchered in all conditions (lowers). When they start to vine, they become pickier and pitcher only when they are in a really good mood...I always hear that hamata is fragile until it's large enough to start vining. By that point it's hard to kill.
