🌱 How to Grow Radish Sprouts at Home and Make Fresh Bibimbap
A 20-Day Guide from Seed to Harvest – Simple Indoor Gardening
Growing your own vegetables at home is both rewarding and healthy—and one of the easiest ways to get started is by planting radish sprouts. These little greens are packed with nutrients, grow fast, and are perfect for beginners who want to try indoor gardening without special tools or a garden.
In this post, I’ll walk you through how I grew radish sprouts step by step, using only a flowerpot and some topsoil. By the end, I even used the sprouts to make a delicious homemade bibimbap!
✨ What You Need to Start
- Radish sprout seeds (available in most garden shops)
- Small flowerpot
- Topsoil
- Water spray bottle
- A bright window or access to sunlight
🌱 Step-by-Step: Planting Radish Sprouts
1. Decorate the Flowerpot (Optional)
Add your personal touch to the pot if you'd like. This step is optional, but fun—especially for kids!
2. Add Topsoil
Fill your pot about 80% full with quality topsoil.
3. Moisten the Soil
Use a spray bottle to gently wet the surface until it’s evenly moist.
4. Sprinkle the Seeds
Evenly distribute the radish sprout seeds across the soil surface.
5. Spray Water Again
Lightly spray over the seeds to help them settle into the soil.
6. Cover the Seeds
Sprinkle a thin layer of soil (about the same height as the seeds) to lightly cover them.
7. Water Once More
Spray again to moisten the new top layer. Be gentle to avoid washing away the seeds.
☀️ Growing Tips: Moisture & Light
- Keep the soil moist at all times—never let it fully dry out.
- Once sprouts appear, move the pot to a bright area with indirect sunlight.
- Water lightly every day and watch them grow!

🌿 Day 3 : Tiny green sprouts emerge from the soil.
🌿 Day 6 : Leaves begin to expand. Plants are visibly stronger.

🥗 Harvest and Enjoy: Bibimbap Time!
By Day 20, your radish sprouts should be fully grown and ready to harvest.
You can eat them raw, add them to salads, or do what I did—use them as a fresh topping for bibimbap. The spicy, crunchy sprouts pair perfectly with rice, vegetables, and gochujang sauce.

Here’s the best part:
If you plant new radish sprout seeds every day, starting today…
You can harvest fresh greens every day after Day 20—365 days a year!
