The invention relates to a seedling-raising way for algae, in particular to a seedling-raising method for gracilaria algae. The method comprises the following steps: disinfecting cleaned mature gracilaria algae with sodium hypochlorite for 3-5 minutes, flushing the disinfected gracilaria algae with boiled fresh water, and putting the flushed gracilaria algae into boiled seawater for serving as breeding algae in later use; drying the breeding algae in the shade, stimulating, releasing spores, growing a disk-shaped body, performing suspension cultivation after scraping the disk-shaped body, performing enlarged cultivation, inducing the formation of vertical branches, and performing gradual cultivation to prompt growth of seedlings. By adopting the seedling-raising method, the entire spore seedling-raising process is implemented in a relatively small and controllable three-dimensional space, the seedling-raising amount is large, the survival rate is up to 90-100 percent, seedlings grow rapidly, the emergence rate is high, and gracilaria seedlings which are uniform in size and are 5 centimeters in length can be cultivated within 30-60 days.
