Camille,

For a tiger stripe, I highly recommend N Karanishiki.

It is somewhat high end. In addition to the tiger stripes, it has ruby root tips. Do an internet search to familiarize yourself with how it should look and be sure to get a picture of the exact plant you will be purchasing so you won't be conned. The picture should have been taken during root tip growth to see the tips in all their glory.

Another excellent choice is N Byakko, more readily available and more affordable. Plain root tips. One issue with Byakko is that the variegation is white and not yellow resulting in it being more subject to sun damage.

Joking aside, I grow this one under the highest light I can give out of any of my neos, but since I grow under lights, it's hard to explain exactly how much total light it gets in relation to growing under other light sources.

Hakumin,

You grow under lights? I never would have guessed.

I nearly fell off my sofa (something hard to do) when reading that. Such success with the alternate source!
