How long does it take for bacteria to grow on agar?
It depends on the type of bacteria, but in general you should see some growth within 2 days. Be careful about reporting on your growth before 2 days because you may not see much growth and it would be hard to make any conclusions.





If you're in a hurry to report on your data and you have control over where your plates are, then you can speed up growth by placing them in a warm dark place, with high humidity.
