'grow before one's very eyes' OR simply, 'grow very rapidly'
"Like a house in a fire" doesn't work here.
We do refer to things happening 'before one's very eyes' , which could work here if you want to use something idiomatic.
Though just using something like 'grow very rapidly' would certainly convey the correct meaning.

: "Grow before one's very eyes" is good, but Vladimir's is better. Only other one I know is "shoot up like a rocket". From song: "It shot up like a rocket till it nearly reached the sky. It's the biggest aspidistra in the world!" (Sung by Gracie Fields).

Thank you very much Jack ! Now I believe that this is rather a Chinese saying. I thouaght that it could also be an Indian saying whence it could migrate to Britain :)
