This study aimed to determine the effects of LED applications and application periods on seedling development. To this end, four different LED applications (blue 100%, red 100%, green 100%, and full-spectrum 100% (control)) were applied to different star flower varieties (Figaro Violet shades&mdash:flower color: purple, Figaro Orange shades&mdash:flower color: orange, Figaro White shades&mdash:flower color: white, and Figaro Red shades&mdash:flower color: red) for 15 and 30 days. These applications were repeated over two years (two vegetation periods). The results revealed that the red-flowered and white-flowered varieties exhibited higher values in terms of root length, root number, stem diameter, 2nd and 4th leaf petiole length, 2nd and 4th leaf width, and leaf number under full-spectrum and red LED applications. We also observed that red LED application for 30 days is suitable for seedling height development in the Figaro Orange shades variety. Conversely, the results showed that the effects of LED application durations on root length and stem diameter did not show a statistically significant difference, while the 15-day application yielded the best results for root number. In the Figaro Red shades and Figaro White shades varieties, the use of red LED applications for 30 days yielded results similar to those of full-spectrum applications, indicating that both applications can be used for seedling cultivation.
