Bold, arched, and beautifully patterned, Tigerama is a striking Skotak collector hybrid with broad bronze-green leaves, dramatic black spines, and dense red cross-banding that gives the plant a fierce tiger-striped appearance. The leaves grow in a strong, open rosette with a mature plant size of approximately 24 inches across.
This hybrid has excellent presence and a powerful lineage behind it, combining heavily patterned classics like Hannibal Lecter, Norman Bates, Skotak’s Tiger, Blushing Tiger, and carolinae variegated. Unlike some Neoregelias, Tigerama does not produce cup color at blooming — the beauty is all in the bold leaf structure, dark spines, and intense banding.

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.
