The invention discloses a method for promoting enrichment of cadmium by red spinach through composition of a plant hormone and a chelating agent. The method is characterized in that the red spinach is planted in pollutant cadmium-containing soil, and the plant hormone and the chelating agent EDTA are sprayed or irrigated, and when being in the flowering period or the maturation period, the plant red spinach is cut or wholly removed from the polluted soil; then a next batch of the red spinach is further planted, the plant hormone and the chelating agent EDTA are sprayed or irrigated, and when being in the flowering period or the maturation period, the plant red spinach is wholly removed from the polluted soil; the process is repeated until the content of the cadmium in the soil reaches the environmental safety standard. By adopting the method, the absorption, transport and enrichment to the cadmium by the red spinach can be remarkably increased, the phytoremediation efficiency of the cadmium-polluted soil is effectively improved, the method has the characteristics of less investment, low maintenance cost, small work amount and low management technology requirements for repairing of the cadmium-polluted soil, and favorable environmental benefits, social benefits and economic benefits are realized.
