The invention provides a method for mass propagation of lycoris aurea through somatic embryogenesis. The lycoris aurea tissue culture method for scale production and propagation so as to meet the market demand comprises the steps of A, explant disinfection, B, adventitious bud induction, C, callus induction, D, callus propagation, E callus redifferentiation, F, rooting culture, and H, seedling exercising and transplanting. According to the method, herbicide picloram is applied to tissue culture of lycoris aurea for the first time, stable lycoris aurea tissues capable of being propagated on a large scale are obtained, the callus induction rate reaches 95% or above, and the propagation coefficient of the lycoris aurea is at least increased by 8-10 times. The production cost is reduced, furthermore, the whole fine properties of a parent body can be preserved, and the inheritable character is stable. Through the method, a large number of excellent test-tube seedlings can be formed within a short period of time, large-scale industrialized production is conducted, and a lot of raw materials are provided for ornamental horticulture, pharmacy and other industries as well as the follow-up study of the lycoris aurea.
