The invention discloses a cistanche salsa planting method. The cistanche salsa planting method includes the following steps that first, seeds are treated, wherein cistanche salsa seeds are soaked with a mixed solution of VitaCat and High Yield solution to be treated for 1.5 h to 2.5 h, and the soaked cistanche salsa seeds, the mixed solution for treatment and fine sand are fully stirred to be evenly mixed; second, planting holes are handled, planting holes with the centers 45 cm to 55 cm away from trunks of hosts are dug, the planting holes are 40 cm to 50 cm long, 25 cm to 35 cm wide and 45 cm to 55 cm deep, the bottoms of the planting holes are made to be slopes, the included angles between the slopes and the horizontal plane range from 40 degrees to 50 degrees, and the bevels are opposite to the hosts; third, the roots of the hosts are handled, wherein the roots broken due to digging on the sections of the planting holes are pruned through a pruner, and then GGR solution is sprayed onto the roots of the hosts on the perpendicular sections of the planting holes; fourth, the seeds are scattered and planted, wherein the cistanche salsa seeds treated in the first step are scattered onto the bevels of the bottoms of the planting holes, and the planting holes are backfilled. The cistanche salsa planting method is easy and convenient to operate and low in cost, and the cistanche salsa survival rate can reach 95%; according to the method, sacsaoul and tamarix are used as the hosts for planting cistanche salsa, and high economic benefits are achieved.
