Several years back I was growing Anth. warocqueanum, but it always had leaf
damage
of one kind or another.  At the time I did not have any kind of humidity or
cooling
equipment in the GH, so I never could get the plant where it even had a
single
non-blemished leaf.

Last year I visited a plant collector in Thailand that had a whole slew of
these plants.
See: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~alan/plants/war/1.html for a pic.  They were all
absolutely
perfect.  The grower had an extensive cooling and humidifying system, which
just
proves that if you can give a plant the growing conditions it wants it will
grow
perfectly.  He also grew them in what appeared to be chunks of decaying
coconut shells which provided excellent drainage.

After seeing his collection, I may have to try to grow this species again,
