I had this one here in NC in the ground from Gabe and left it, hoping my dad would water it and the new sikkimensis Red Tiger seedling I had in the ground and it died in the drought. All the others did alright though.

Well, I'll take the Chinese guy's pronunciation over mine, lol! Hayes actually told me how to pronounce it, I was saying it as "Zee-shwong..."

Bummer about yours dying in the drought. Mine did not do too well in the massive heat wave back in August. In fact, leaves burned and the pseudostem started peeling itself back slowly. I think I just have it in too much sun. If it lives through the winter, I may move part of it to a shadier location. That is, IF it lives...
