The invention provides a taxus chinensis propagating method. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps that 1, taxus chinensis branches are selected; 2, bactericide is used for treating the branches; 3, a plant growth regulator is used for treating the branches; 4, water culture is adopted for inducing the branches to take root; 5, a nutrient solution is added for curing. By the adoption of the method for propagating taxus chinensis, restriction of cultivated land resources can be gotten rid of, and the propagation area is increased; meanwhile, the influence on the survival rate from external environment is reduced to the maximum, time for callus forming and rooting is shortened, the stem cutting survival rate is remarkably increased, the restriction that due to poor environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, soil and water quality, the stem cutting survival rate is influenced by an original propagation means is broken through, the current situation that taxus chinensis genetic resources are scanty can be relieved, and great economic value can be created.
