I'm a teacher and I tell my students to remember stalactite holds on tight so it can hang down, the stalagmite is the one on the ground. :)

Stalagmites might reach the ceiling, and stalactites are stuck tight to the ceiling.

Hi there.
A stalactite clings tight to the ceiling,
a stalagmite might get there some day.
That is the one I was taught, ayway!
Cheers, Steve.

Stalagmite "g" for ground (up), stalactite "c" for ceiling (down).
