Have him in a giant tank. Other than that, tons of water changes.

Yeah, you need a 125g for a pleco to reach its full potential. I have a foot long pleco in a 100g that has grown fast because I do LOTS of water changes. I dont feed him either, he eats algea.
The best thing for fish growth is clean water. Do twice weekly 25% water changes and your plec will grow like a madman. WHat size tank is he in?

A cave won't stunt him, but he can get stuck if outgrows it. Algae wafers aka spirulina discs at lights out.
