The invention provides a method for planting microelement-enriched cistanche. According to the method, microelements such as calcium salt, iron salt, selenium salt, boron salt, molybdenum salt, chromium salt and the like are mixed with an EM (effective microorganism) solution, a mixture is applied to sacsaoul on which the cistanche is parasitized, the sacsaoul absorbs the microelements, and the cistanche is utilized to absorb nutrient and water in a sacsaoul host, so that the microelements are enriched in the cistanche, the microelement enrichment is further improved, and the effect of the cistanche is improved. Compared to the prior art, the planting method is simple; and the cistanche obtained by planting is enriched in microelements such as calcium, iron, selenium, boron, molybdenum, chromium and the like, thereby having relatively high commercial and medicinal values.
