I would definitely include vietnamense in the hard group for me. Some find it easy but not me. Maybe we each have a different ''feel'' when it comes to growing and some species fit better into that than others?
The fact that some people find a particular species difficult while someone else finds it very easy points more to an individual's technique? Or perhaps it's just asking too much to have all the species perform well in the same conditions.
Could another reason be that when we buy a plant, we are just taking a chance as to whether its a strong clone or a weak one and this may lead us to thinking its a difficult species when in fact it's just a crappy plant?
With a lot of the seedlings I buy I do not have any choice between plants.
