How fast do Mung Beans Germinate?

Question

Its for biology :D

Answer 1

Fast...if you keep them damp and warm, they will start to germinate in 2 - 3 days, sometimes less.

Answer 2

Mung Beans can germinate within 48-72 hrs.

How fast they grow depends on the temperature, if they are growing in darkness or light, & if they have been soaked overnight before planting.

"Within the temperatures that mung beans can germinate & grow, the higher the temperature, the better the mung beans will germinate & grow."

Germinating (sprouting) Mung Beans :

Soak Mung Beans overnight,  drain them & place  them on a cheesecloth in a pot (leave a little moisture in cloth).  Make sure you put a cover on the pot to fool the beans into thinking that they are underground. The temperature in the room should be warm. Check to make sure you still have some moisture in cloth (you don't want the beans to dry out).  Under these conditions, these Mung Beans germinated in 2  days:
