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.
Can a stalactites grow without a stalagmite below it and how?

How can a stalagmite grow without a stalactites?
It depends very much on the conditions within the individual cave passage, particularly the CO2 proportion in the air, and the rate at which the water with its dissolved calcite comes through the passage roof. If the drops fall as soon as they emerge from their inlet, the evaporation hence precipitation of calcite, will occur on the floor.
