Abstract: The effects of different hormone processing,remain leaves,substrate,cutting time and light intensities on survival rate of Camellia nitidissimawere investigated.The results showed that there were remarkable effects on survival rate of C.nitidissima with different hormone processing,remain leaves,substrate,cutting time and light intensities,especially light intensities and remain leaves.The most suitable time for cutting C.nitidissima in northern Guangxi is in the middle of April.It can get higher rooting rate of cutting by usingoneyear shoot with two leaves on the top,dipping the cuttings in concentration of100 mg·L^-1 NAA for 18 h,yellow soil as medium for cutting bed and 90% forlight intensities.

Key words: rare and endangered, Camellia nitidissima, cutting, rooting rate
