One of the mysteries of Phrag culture is which ones like it wet and which like it dry (moist). There is a vendor website with very helpful information on this: The Gore Orchid Conservatory - Paph and Phrag Orchid Species Specialists - For Sale!. They also have great info on Paphs and lots of photos.

I can't promise great results with Phrag. schlimii using culture recommended for Schroderae. Although Schroderae has schlimii in its background, it is a caudatum cross and as such will do better in brighter light, which will likely burn schlimii leaves. It also doesn't require as much moisture, but may do well in it. I have never grown Schroderae before so I'm just going based on parentage, and cultural requirements are quite unpredictable when you cross a dryer growing type (caudatum) with a wetter growing type (Sedenii).
The bottom line is, you could try it, but success isn't guaranteed. This culture sheet is based on my success with schlimii and the success of those I have talked to in the past (as well as literature I have read).
