Blink and You’ll Miss It: 10 Fastest Things on Earth

Fastest Growing Plant – Bamboo

Maximum growth rate: 4 feet in one day 

Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant you’ll find. It’s a special kind of grass that can shoot up really fast if it gets the right conditions.

In its best season, some types of bamboo can grow as much as 4 feet in a single day! One kind, called Phyllostachys bambusoides or Giant Timber Bamboo, can even grow 4 feet in just one day!

And these bamboos can grow super tall too. Take the Moso bamboo, for example. It can reach up to a towering 92 feet high!
