Lisianthus resembles a rose with its eye-catching beauty and resembles a tulip with its leaf structure. It is popularly known as "Lalegül". Lisianthus has recently been widely used as a cut flower and indoor ornamental plant in pots.

It offers different options to the buyer with its striking colors of blue, purple-purple-blue, white, bright pink, dark pink and lilac. This guides the selection of flower colors for the meaning of special days during the production phase.

In lisianthus cultivation, seed is produced and coated seed is used. Since it is a long-day plant, its development is faster and blooms in summer. In the winter months (November-May), the development is slower. When suitable conditions are not provided, short plants are formed and it is seen that they do not bloom. Among the most common problems, short plant height was observed. With the applications made during the seed and seedling period and the selection of suitable varieties, the problem of short plants was prevented and it was determined that the temperature tolerance level increased in this way. Ideal temperatures are 13°C at night and 25°C during the day. The effect of different colors on the quality was investigated by using different lighting systems with sufficient light quality by making additional lighting in the winter period when the light is insufficient.

On Valentine's Day, rose occupied the first place with a rate of 87%, while lisianthus 6%, gerbera 4% and gladiolus 3% were the other preferred cut flowers. On Mother's Day, rose (78%) was the first choice as a gift; lisianthus emerged as a new flower species that took the second place with a high rate of 10%. Since it is an attractive and commercial flower, it is necessary to produce efficient and high quality production in short day conditions, additional lighting and appropriate temperature conditions.

The effect of using additional lighting on yield and quality in lisianthus cultivation in short day conditions when the market is relatively empty was investigated.
