You can also keep plants alive in the dark for a very long time if you provide sugar and vitamins. So, water it with sugar/blood/water mixture and you can keep it in the dark for a very very long time.

and also in forest if you're small you do not get that much light thus you have to grow taller to reach sunlight.
