You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

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.

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.

The bamboos are a group of woody perennial evergreen (except for certain temperate species) plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some are giant bamboos, the largest members of the grass family. Bamboos are the fastest growing woody plants in the world. Their growth rate (up to 60 centimeters (24 in.)/day) is due to a unique rhizome-dependent system, but is highly dependent on local soil and climate conditions. They are of economic and high cultural significance in East Asia and South East Asia where they are used extensively in gardens, as a building material, and as a food source.

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.
