A couple months ago, I saw the teeth of a nepenthes edwardsiana and fell in love with it. I recently found out the name of it...and then saw how expensive it is as a plant LOL.

I was wondering if anyone knew any more common similar nepenthes pitchers with pronounced teeth/ribs like it?

Ham x eddy, villosa x hamata, villosa, hamata, or even pure macrophylla

Wouldn’t do pure species unless you have a good idea of the requirements of them. I would recommend the hybrids, particularly HamEddy, for a more “house conditions” setup.

Additionally you could try densiflora or Diatas although they do need a true highland setup like villosa.

Focus on the hamatas ($100-$150) or the hamata crosses (burkei x hamata is a good intro).

Villosa, eddy, and macrophylla are other options. Usually hamata or hamata crosses are easier to find and more cost effective though.
