The light sensitivity of many silver compounds has restricted the observation of silver-based chemical gardens. Here, we report for the first time, silver-based chemical gardens grown in the dark. An identical reaction kept in the light resulted in no such structures. We attribute the observation of silver-based chemobrionics to the avoidance of light.
