The synergistic effects of some plant growth regulators was investigated upon shoot proliferation and growth of korarima (Aframomum corrorima (Braun) Jansen), an important culinary and medicinal plant species native to Ethiopia. Cultures were initiated from axillary bud explants of rhizome using Murashige and Skoog (1962) (MS) medium added with 5% coconut water (CW). The use of 0.5 mg/l thidiazuron (TDZ) in combination with 3 mg/l paclobutrazol (PBZ) gave about 26 shoots/explant (about 12.6-fold than the control) within eight weeks time. Shoot multiplication was also enhanced when TDZ at 0.5 mg/l was simultaneously used with either 2 mg/l imazalil (IMA) or 3 mg/l N6-benzyladenine (BA) in the culture medium. Subsequent shoot elongation and development of functional roots was attained after one to three monthly-subcultures on a plant growth regulator (PGR)-free basal medium. The protocol developed from the present study could be used for the large-scale multiplication of A. corrorima by tissue culture
