A stalactite typically grows at a rate of around 0.001 to 0.02 inches per year, depending on factors like the mineral content of the water and the size of the stalactite.
When a stalactite and stalagmite join, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when mineral deposits from dripping water from the stalactite unite with the mineral deposits growing up from the stalagmite, eventually creating a solid column structure.
When a stalagmite and stalactite meet and grow together, they form a column.
You would go to a cave if you wanted to see a stalactite.
