This study investigated the effects of illumination time and soil moisture on seed germination and seedling establishment of  Magnolia sprengeri  Pamp. to improve the seed germination percentage and seedling survival percentage of  M. sprengeri . It is of great significance for rapid propagation, seedling regeneration, field management, and artificial high-efficiency cultivation of  M. sprengeri . In this study, the seeds of natural  M. sprengeri  populations from original habitat were used as test materials. Seed germination and seedling establishment of  M. sprengeri  were performed under different illumination time and soil moisture treatments in artificial climate incubator. The study found that there were significant differences among various key parameters related to seed germination and seedling establishment under different treatments ( P  &lt; 0.05). Germination percentage, germination potential, germination index, vigor index, germination rate, plant height, number of leaves, base diameter, taproot length, number of lateral roots, maximum lateral root length, single plant leaf area, fresh weight, and seedling survival rate reached the maximum at continuous illumination and 13% of soil moisture, respectively. By the integrative evaluation for the influence of these two factors on seed germination and seedling establishment, soil moisture is a dominant factor affecting seed germination and seedling establishment, whereas illumination is an important promoting factor for seedling establishment of  M. sprengeri . Continuous illumination and 13% of soil moisture content is suitable for seed germination and seedling establishment of  M. sprengeri .
