Yes, stalactites do grow toward the cave ceiling. Stalactites form when mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling of a cave and leaves behind deposits of minerals over time. As each droplet of water evaporates, it leaves behind a small amount of mineral deposit, causing the stalactite to gradually grow downward from the ceiling.
