7.3 Light Production under low light conditions, i.e. in the event of closed insulation, in combination with high relative humidity will in a number of cultivars lead to pale leaves, long and limp plants, late emergence of the leaves (so-called ‘cigars’), topple in leaf and stem and short keeping quality of the flowers. These cultivars require more light. Towards the end of the spring it may be advisable to introduce a light shading when necessary to boost the flower quality.
