Sugar crystals grow best in dark areas. Some people say that putting the solution in the refrigerator is good because it is dark and cold, but actually you will want to put the crystal solution in a dark corner on your countertop, where it can get somewhat indirect rays of sunlight.

Does yeast grow better in the dark or light?

Yeast typically grows better in dark environments because light can inhibit its growth. Yeast fermentation is an anaerobic process so light exposure can generate free radicals and reduce the yeast cells' ability to ferment.


Does mold grow faster on apples in light or dark places?

Mold grows faster in dark places because light inhibits its growth. Placing apples in a dark environment can promote faster mold growth compared to placing them in a well-lit area.


Can a seed grow in the dark or in the light?

No, seeds grow in day and night. It is even better if it rains. I can remember when I did something like that many years ago when I was still at school! lol (edited) Actually, I know only few seeds that grows in the dark because they cannot survive too much heat from the sun. I think it burns and dehydrates them. Seeds mostly grow under sun or fluorescent/incandescent light, where it can photosynthesize.


Can you grow shiitake mushrooms in the dark?

Yes, however you may have a hard time getting them to fruit. They seem to require some light in order to fruit. Oklahoma State University has a "Growing Shittake Mushrooms" fact sheet that details how to grow and fruit mushrooms.


Do plants grow better in the dark or light?

Plants grow taller in the dark. however they are a lot more healthy growing in the light.This because in the absence of light, cells in plant stems grow rapidly and leaf growth is therefore suppressed. If you take a closer look or let a plant continue to grow in the dark, you may notice thin and weak stems. One may also discover that without light, leaves tend to be small and pale, as they lack the green pigment, chlorophyll, and thus the ability to make food or photosynthesize. Whereas the one in the light slows its growth rate so that it can make leaves to photosynthesize.

Do crystals grow taller in the dark or the light?

Depends upon what type of mineral is crystallizing. For some types of minerals (aragonite in particular), their growth is mediated by photosynthetic algae. Obviously, they would grow faster when exposed to light. Otherwise, the algae die and the crystals are left to grow inorganically, which may mean not at all.

Can beanplants grow in the dark?

Bean plants need light to photosynthesize and grow. Without sufficient light, they will not be able to produce energy and grow properly. While they can survive for a short period in the dark, they will not thrive in the long term.
