Tiger striped Neofinetia (Tora-fu)

[shakkai]

I thought I would try to make a list of some of the different types of Neos. This one is for the tiger striped leaves with stripes running across the leaves, or sections of the leaves having a contrasting colour.

(Photos to follow! And I will add in links to individual posts about these plants as they are created.)

Kinboshi - Golden yellow leaves.

Kinrokaku - Tiger stripe with golden yellow markings.

Kisyu Sekko - Leaves green with lime green markings.

Kogane Nishiki - Golden yellow leaves.

Hakuun - Distinct golden markings.

Hangoromo - Yellow leaves.

Setsuzan (means Snow Mountain) - Distinct pale sectional stripes across leaves.
More info: Neo. 'setsuzan' - Warning : Image Heavy

Yes please!
And I love the markings on your beautiful Karanishiki.

[NeofinetiaCanada2014]

Thanks MissCat! The karanishiki is a bit tricky to grow for the markings... But if done correctly, it has beautiful tigering and puts on quite a show!

I will take a few more pics the next few days and post them, esp of the yellow tigers!
