There is no "secret" to making a dragon grow up or get bigger.
You simply feed it properly, keep it's temps right, and make sure it gets uv lighting. If you do those things, it will grow to be whatever size it's genetics dictate it's going to be.
As for vitamins, too much is as bad or worse than not enough. Giving your dragon high doses of vitamins will kill it, not make it bigger.
There are many good care sheets on the net. Go read a few of them, and read these forums.
