A liquid phase growth method is provided which comprises dipping a seed substrate in a solution in a vessel having a crystal raw material melted therein and growing a crystal on the substrate, wherein a fin is provided on a bottom of the vessel, for regulating a flow of the solution from a central portion outside in a radial direction in the vessel; a flow-regulating plate is provided in the vicinity of an inner sidewall of the vessel, for regulating a flow of the solution from the bottom upwardly; and the vessel is rotated while regulating a flow of the solution by an action of the fin and the flow-regulating plate to bring the solution into contact with the seed substrate. Thus, there is provided a liquid phase growth method and apparatus capable of providing a high growth rate and showing little difference in the growth rate among the substrates or within the same substrate even when a number of substrates are charged in one batch.
