The invention discloses a culture medium which is applicable to culturing staurosporine producing bacteria for producing staurosporine; the culture medium with pH value of 7.0 comprises carbon sources, organic nitrogen sources and inorganic salt, wherein, the inorganic salt comprises calcium salt; the carbon sources are selected from two or more than two of the following three groups of components, namely, A, B and C, wherein, at least two components are selected from different groups, group A: glucose, group B: amidulin, corn starch and potato starch, and group C: oats and maltodextrin; and / or, the organic nitrogen sources are selected from soybean cake powder, yeast extract, yeast cream and kapok meal; and / or, the inorganic salt is also added with magnesium salt. The invention also discloses a method for producing staurosporine from staurosporine producing bacteria by adopting the culture medium. By adopting the fermentation medium for producing staurosporine, the thalli of the staurosporine producing bacteria grows fast, the mycelia are not easy to clot, the yield of fermentation products is high, and the relative potency is optimized 230 percent of a former culture medium.
