Growth of length in a long bone occurs at the epiphyseal plate.

Epiphyseal plates close after puberty. This because your body begins to produce testosterone, which is in turn converted into estrogen, which is responsible for the closing of the growth plate or Epiphyseal Plate. So it differs from person to person, if you have gone through puberty then your growth plates are developed.
The epiphyseal plate is a section of hyaline cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis in long bones. The growth and ossification of the epiphyseal plate is responsible for the bone growing longer. Articulate cartilage is similar, however, it is found on the outside layer of the epiphysis. It grows and resorbs allowing for the remodelling of the bone. The epiphyseal line is the remains of the epiphyseal plate once it has stopped growing.

After ossification, cartilage remains in the articular cartilage at the ends of long bones. This cartilage provides a smooth surface for joint movement and helps reduce friction and absorb shock. Additionally, small amounts of cartilage can also be found in the growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, which are responsible for bone growth during childhood and adolescence.
Epiphyseal plate
Long bones have these plates at each end. They are found with bones that grow longer over time.

epiphyseal plates
The epiphyseal plate is composed of cartilage. As the child grows, the cartilage hardens into bone. The epiphyseal plate is located at the ends of the long skeletal bones.
Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.
