The opposite would be stalactites, which form from the ceiling down, while stalagmites form from the floor up.
(The venerable mnemonic is that stalactites hold tite/tight to the ceiling.)
Stalagmites grow up.
Stalagmites are a physical change.
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.

I'm not sure if anyone can give a definitive answer but the rate at which the feed water leaves the roof may be a factor.
Calcium Carbonate
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
I saw stalagmites they were ugly but then i saw you and i rather liked the stalagmites
Think of the letter 'g' in stalagmites, as from the ground up.
No, it is stalactites that form on the ceilings. Stalagmites form on the cavern floors.
Cacite is a mineral (crystalline calcium carbonate). Stalagmites and stalactites are deposits of calcite.
No, rocks cannot grow like stalactites and stalagmites. Stalactites and stalagmites are formed from minerals that are deposited from water dripping in caves over thousands of years, while rocks are solid masses that do not exhibit the same type of growth.
