Do not expect to. Growth in anyone is dependent on open growth centers within the bones. These close in most females between 15-17 & 16-18 in males. An x-ray of your wrist/hand can be examined for open growth centers. If open, you may grow more, closed=no. There are no exercises, stretches, diets, drugs etc. that increase height beyond your genetic level.

There is a very small chance and if you would grow it be more associated is a hormone problem than normal growth.
