impressively it takes 1 million years for stalagmites and stalagtites to grow at the most 1cm. Hope this helps you people:^)
Way off!! On average, stalagmites/stalagtites grow at .13 mm or .005 inches per year, and up to 3 mm or .12 inches per year. That would be about 100 yrs to grow 1cm on average.

How tall does a stalagmite grow per year?
The average growth is 0.13 mm a year
Why do some stalactites grow without a stalagmite below them or some stalagmites without a stalactite above them?
Stalactites and stalagmites are slightly different in their growth and do not depend on each other to grow. A stalactite grows when calcium carbonate and other ions precipitate out from the groundwater. A stalagmite forms when calcium carbonate and other ions precipitate out from the groundwater. This water does not need to come from stalactites. When a stalactite and a stalagmite do grow with one above the other, they are called a column when they meet.
Does a calcium stalagmite form on a idle human?
Stalagmites and stalactites can take thousands of years to reach just a few inches. The rate of growth for a stalagmite is based on the amount of water that is flowing through the rocks and the amount of Ca dissolved in it, but they most certainly do not grow overnight. So, no, no human could stand still long enough to have a stalagmite form on them.

Are stalactites found on the bottom of caves?
no, stalactites grow from the ceiling, like an iceicle. stalagmites grow from the ground and stand up.
