There are many factors for this: soil, heat, water and other plant factors. The type of tree and the region are also important factors in growth rate. Hard wood trees for example grow much slower than hardwood trees. Region is important because growing season length varies depending on the area they are in.

cacti don't need as much care as most plants and because they live in the desert they save as mush water as possible. When it rains the cactus gets as much water as possible and uses a small amount each day which causes it to grow slowly, because well it just doesn't know when it will rain again.

The initial growth of a plant depends heavily on the energy stored within the seed and any photosynthesis that occurs within the cotyledons. Once the plant has begun to generate new leaves, growth is a function of how much photosynthesis takes place, which is dependent on the surface area available for capturing sunlight. It is intuitive that larger plants with greater leaf surface area have a greater capacity for photosynthesis and therefore, can produce more plant mass faster, including more leaves. In theory, plants could grow infinitely larger forever if the ability to capture sunlight was the only variable, but most plants are limited in size either by seasonality or the availability of water.
