Growing a Mung Beans Plant Indoors - Pictures!

I was sprouting some mung beans...


1 day:

... and decided to let them grow for about a week. They had tiny leaves and roots on them. I planted three of them in a small pot and put it by my north facing window. They do not get any direct sunlight.



2 weeks:

These things are like little radars following the sun, lol. The precision is incredible!

They grew for another week. The lower foliage looks to be withering...

3 weeks:

The upper foliage is healthy and glowing. If you look closely you'll see new leaves beginning to form between the stems and the foliage...

A closer look shows a new leaf bud forming along the stem...

...and it all started with just 3 beans...

Thanks for reading. I'll continue to add pictures as the plant grows.

when i see roots coming out of the bottom i'll step it up a size. right now it's going good. what i might think about is getting a pole, but for now i want them free standing so the stem can build some strength.

update:
last night i pruned the bottom foliage on all plants. i figure this will allow nutrients to better get to the more healthy foliage and improve growth.
