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.
