The invention discloses a method for promoting chlorella growth. The invention discloses application of pectinase and (2,4,6-trihydroxylphenyl)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) pyrazole in promoting algae growth. The pectinase is a common enzyme in the food field, and the (2,4,6-trihydroxylphenyl)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) pyrazole is a substance capable of promoting pectinase activity, which can avoid influence on other organisms in environment. A using method has the characteristics that the (2,4,6-trihydroxylphenyl)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) pyrazole is added to a water body when the chlorella grows to a certain stage, so that a promoting effect is taken when the chlorella just begins to grow to keep algae at a relatively high density and to effectively promote algae growth; the pectinase and the (2,4,6-trihydroxylphenyl)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) pyrazole have the features of being safe, efficient, degradable and the like; and the pectinase and the (2,4,6-trihydroxylphenyl)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) pyrazole can be extensively applied to a natural or landscape water body.
