A Skotak hybrid with a warm, explosive color pattern that lives up to the name. ‘Atomic Blast’ matures to approximately 22 inches across and about 14 inches tall, forming a substantial rosette with broad leaves reaching around 3 inches wide.
The foliage carries a fiery mix of pink, red, bronze, and green tones, with darker cross-banding layered through the leaves. As it matures in strong light, the color can become richer and more intense, giving this hybrid a dramatic, high-impact look in a collector collection.

A rarely seen Skotak hybrid in the U.S., where the albomarginated form is the version more commonly found. This variegated form of ‘Rocket to Mars’ is a large, open grower, maturing to approximately 30 inches across.
The broad, arching, black-spined leaves carry a central cream to hot pink/scarlet stripe in strong light, with dark red punctation and cross-banding layered through the foliage.

A large Skotak hybrid named for its foliage markings. ‘Highlander’ matures to approximately 24 inches across, forming a strong rosette with rich pink-red tones, darker banding, and random cream striated variegation running through the leaves.
The patterning gives this hybrid a very distinct woven look — colorful, irregular, and unmistakably collector-grade. Grex siblings include Neo. ‘Optimus Prime’ and Neo. ‘Angry Bird’. We also grow Neo. ‘Optimus Prime’, so check our website for that one when available.

The albomarginated form of ‘Black Opal’ gives this large Skotak hybrid a crisp, white-edged look. Mature plants can reach approximately 31 inches across, forming an open rosette with green foliage, pale margins, and heavy dark cross-banding.
Compared to the variegated form, this version has a cleaner margin pattern while still carrying the bold scale and dark Skotak-style markings from its Tiger-heavy parentage. You will rarely see ‘Black Opal’ offered in the U.S., and mature plants are even harder to find.

This hybrid came from a unique, imperfectly variegated plant in a 2009 Skotak grex that later produced/sported two standout cultivars: Neo. ‘Eye Candy’ and Neo. ‘Freak Out’. ‘Eye Candy’ carries the bold edged look, while ‘Freak Out’ is known for its median striping. We grow both, so check our site for Neo. ‘Freak Out’ when available.
