Name: Paphiopedilum Raven Soul
Parents: Paphiopedilum Maudiae × Paphiopedilum Senne Calle
Registration: Registered by Ecuagenera in the RHS International Orchid Register on July 2, 2025; Ecuagenera is listed as the registrant and originator.
Location/Cultivation Conditions: We recommend intermediate to warm conditions of approximately 18–26 °C, bright filtered light, and good air circulation. A fine to medium, airy, and slightly moisture-retaining paphiopedilum potting mix is well suited. The root zone should remain evenly slightly moist but never waterlogged. Weak, regular doses of fertilizer during active growth are preferable to infrequent high doses.
Description and Notes: Paphiopedilum Raven Soul combines two complex Maudiae lines. Compact plants with attractive marbled foliage and striking, often darkly colored paphiopedilum flowers can be expected. Shade, markings, flower size, and leaf pattern may vary among seedlings. The plants do not require a pronounced rest period; consistent moisture and stable warmth promote continuous growth.
