Crystals that form from supersaturated solutions need a nucleus to grow onto, either the existing crystals or a different structure.
Experiment
To grow a sugar crystal, tie a string to a pencil. Balance the pencil horizontally on top of the jar full of sugar water, with the string hanging in it. After some time (hours), crystals of sugar will precipitate onto the string.
Crystals will not grow if buried in the ground. For crystals to grow, specific conditions are required such as a solution of dissolved minerals, the right temperature, and time. Burial in the ground won't provide these conditions for crystal growth.
Crystals can grow at different speeds depending on various factors such as temperature, pressure, and chemical composition. Some crystals may form quickly under ideal conditions, while others may take a longer time to grow. Overall, the growth rate of crystals can vary widely from fast to slow.
Alum crystals and sugar crystals grow at the same rate at an increasing time rate making them grow the fastest

To grow salt crystals, you need a saturated salt solution, a container, and a seed crystal. Dissolve salt in water, heat if needed to saturate the solution. Place the seed crystal in the solution, cover it with a paper towel to allow slow evaporation, and let it sit undisturbed until crystals form.

Sugar crystals grow better in acidic conditions because the presence of acid can help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing too quickly, leading to larger and more defined crystals. Alkaline conditions may interfere with the crystallization process and result in smaller or irregularly shaped crystals.
Crystals can grow from a mineral solution, a magma, or a vapor. The specific conditions under which crystals are formed will influence their size, shape, and quality.

They would grow best in a super saturated solution. Perhaps with a "seed", and maybe the ability for the solvent to evaporate.
No. Crystals can grow, but they do it spontaneously, and only if conditions are right.
It typically takes 1-2 weeks to grow visible copper sulfate crystals in a saturated solution at room temperature. The size of the crystals and the conditions of the solution can affect the growth rate.
Yes crystals do grow under the ground.
a nice warm substance
crystals best grow in warm temperatures.
