no, stalactites grow from the ceiling, like an iceicle. stalagmites grow from the ground and stand up.

What caves are stalactites and stalagmites found?
Stalacmites and stalactites are found in all land caves including Wookey Hole with some that reach over 20 feet! +++ Not in "all" land caves, but certainly in most limestone caves - though even many of these have extensive series of passages with no formations in them. Sadly, I don't think there are any stalactites 20+ft long in Wookey Hole, unless in the further reaches recently opened to tourists but which I have not visited. If there were, the 18C poet Alexander Pope probably stole them: he engaged marksmen to shoot stalactites down to decorate an artificial garden in his garden!
