The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural planting, and discloses a camphor tree seedling raising method. The method comprises the steps of cutting branch selection and treatment; cutting, wherein after treatment in the step 1 is conducted, a matrix cutting cave with the aperture being 3-5 cm and the depth being 3-5 cm is formed in the middle of a matrix in a seedling raising container, the central axis of the matrix cutting cave and the horizontal plane form the angle ranging from 35 degrees to 45 degrees, the beveled ends, dipping rooting slurry, of cutting branches are put into the matrix cutting cave in a cutting mode, the cave is filled with river sand, and then watering is conducted thoroughly; germination hastening and rooting culture are conducted; seedling exercising and transplanting are conducted, wherein obtained camphor tree seedlings are transplanted into a seedling exercising matrix, the air humidity is kept at 60%, the temperature is 28 DEG C, and after seedling exercising and transplanting are conducted for 60-90 days, the seedlings can come out of a garden. The method for raising seedlings through cutting is simple and easy to understand, the survival rate is high, the root system is advanced, the seedling raising time cycle is greatly shortened, the seedlings are healthy, the growth vigor is kept uniform, unified management and unified sale can be achieved, and the economic benefits are increased.
