A very rare and exceptional Otto hybrid with bold, high-contrast markings and serious collector presence. ‘Black Cat’ shows a striking mix of bright green, creamy variegation, deep maroon-black banding, and dark smoky tips that give the plant a dramatic, almost painted look. The patterning is intense from the center outward — heavy spotting, strong bars, and that wild Otto-style contrast that makes each leaf feel completely unique.
A medium grower, reaching about **20″ across at maturity**. Best grown in bright, filtered light to bring out stronger banding, darker tips, and richer overall color while keeping the variegation clean and vibrant.

One of Chester Skotak’s standout hybrids, and a favorite among serious Neo collectors. The leaves are stiff and mid-green with black spines, striped down the center in creamy white, then splashed and spotted blood red the more light it gets. You’ll also see faint cross-banding through the foliage. It’s in the Tricolor Group, originated in Costa Rica, from the cross (carolinae variegated × Hannibal Lecter) × Norman Bates, crossed with Rainbow Carcharodon.
This is a big one — a mature plant can open up to roughly 31″ wide and 16″ tall. That said, I grow this one hard: strong sun and no fertilizer. Grown that way it stays more compact and the color comes in much stronger. Bright filtered-to-direct light with good airflow is the way to go — the more light it takes (without burning), the more red spotting and contrast you’ll pull out.
📷 First photo is a mature example. The rest are the actual pup you’ll receive — healthy, nicely variegated, and already throwing the markings this one is known for.
A rare 2025 release from Batman in Thailand, ‘Gobstopper’ is one of those hybrids that earns its name. This plant brings bold candy-pink margins, deep burgundy flushing, green-to-silver striping, and layered color that shifts across the leaves as it matures. The look is vibrant without being messy — strong variegation, rich contrast, and a polished collector form.
A medium grower, reaching about **20″ across at maturity**. Best grown in bright, filtered light to keep the pink margins intense, deepen the burgundy tones, and bring out the full range of color this hybrid is capable of.
