The fastest growing plant on earth is kelp. The giant kelp can grow up to 2 feet per day and reach lengths over 100 feet - there are giant kelp forests off the coast of California

The fastest growing land plant is bamboo. Giant bamboo can grow as much as 2 inches per day and one plant can have a root system system covering 120 square miles! Amazing stuff.

The fasted growing plant on land is bamboo, with some species growing a foot in a single day. Here is an interesting video based on this. Please have a look.

Yes, that's right, guys. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth. It has been reported that it can grow nearly 4 feet in a single day. And reach the height of 100 feet in just one month. It is a member of the grass family, but the Bamboo has a woody stem. And you must have seen a bamboo if you've see a panda in the wild or in a zoo.
