What Is the Fastest Growing Household Plant or Flower?

Those who enjoy gardening or who simply want to use natural, living decor in their homes may wonder, "What is the fastest growing household plant or flower?" The answer to this question is a flower called the Dahlia.

According to Garden Guides, the fastest growing house plant or flower is the Dahlia.

• The Dahlia flower can sprout from a seed and enter its flower state in as little as seven to twenty one days, which is unusually rapid for a flower. 

However, while it is the fastest growing household plant or flower, the Dahlia flowering plant does not hold the record for being the fastest growing plant in the world. That record is help by bamboo.

All About Bamboo

The record for the fastest growing plant in the world is held by the bamboo plant.

• The bamboo, although it is commonly grown inside as a symbol of peace and serenity or good luck, is not considered to be a houseplant. 
• While the Dahlia can grow from a seed in as little as seven to twenty one days, the bamboo plant, which only flowers roughly every seven years, can grow as many as three to four inches per day. In fact, it can even grow rapidly in a few hours given proper light and moisture conditions. 
• In ancient China and Japan, bamboo was prized for its rapid growth and was often used as a building material or to make paper because it could be grown and harvested and then experience regrowth much faster than trees (which were in short supply in those areas).
• Today, bamboo is prized by those interested in sustainable and green living and is used to produce bamboo flooring and furniture.

So now you know not only what the fastest growing household plant or flower is, and you also know what the fastest growing plant is.
