The invention provides a culture method of periplaneta americana. The method concretely comprises the following steps of 1, ootheca selection, 2, ootheca hatching, 3, nymph transferring, 4, nymph feeding, 5, adult feeding, 6, adult oviposition, and 7, adult catching and killing. A culture system of the periplaneta americana comprises an oviposition box, a hatching box, a culture box and a catchingand killing box, wherein a periplaneta americana dispelling agent is contained in a dispel box arranged in the oviposition box; multilayer hatching trays are arranged in the hatching box; a feeding groove is formed in a raising box; an automatic temperature control and humidity control device is arranged in each of the oviposition box, the hatching box and the culture box; each automatic temperature control and humidity control device comprises a microprocessor, a temperature and humidity alarm, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor; and a steam machine used for providing the controlledtemperature and the controlled humidity is arranged in each of the oviposition box, the hatching box and the culture box. The culture method can solve the problems of low survival rate, low growth speed and great individual differences of the periplaneta americana, and the problem of low content of medical ingredients.
