The invention discloses a seedling raising method for terminalia chebula, and belongs to the technical field of cultivation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The method specially comprises eight steps of selecting seeds, selecting seedling-raising land, carefully preparing land, applying a sufficient base fertilizer, performing seed treatment, accelerating germination, performing sowing,and spraying water and performing shading. The method disclosed by the invention effectively solves the problems that the terminalia chebula competes with food for land, land rent is high, seedling raising costs are high, a process is complicated, and a qualified rate of seedlings is low in current seedling raising of the terminalia chebula; and the method has the beneficial effects that a sloping field is adopted for raising the seedlings, a fertile field is not occupied, the terminalia chebula does not compete with the food for the land, the seedling raising costs are reduced by 20%, a germination rate of the seeds reaches 95% or more, a qualified rate of the seedlings reaches 85% or more, the seedling stage is 11-13 months, an average height of the seedlings is up to 85 cm or more, artificial cultivation of the terminalia chebula can be developed in large area, and industrialization is formed.
