Cuban oregano, Plectranthus amboinicus, is not true oregano. It is a tender, thick-leaved aromatic herb in the mint family. The leaves hold water, so it should be grown more like a succulent herb than a soft annual herb.
Uses
Best uses and placement
A larger aromatic plant without waiting for a small start to fill out
Bright indoor rooms, greenhouse benches, and sheltered summer containers
Taking several cuttings while keeping a full parent plant
Moving into a wider pot where the branches have room to spread
Growing notes
Growing conditions
Use bright light and a pot that drains. Dense wet soil is the main problem with this plant.
Let the top of the mix dry before watering again. The thick leaves store water.
Pinch growing tips to keep the plant fuller.
Bring it indoors before nights get cold. Treat it as tender in Alaska.
Cuttings root best when the plant is actively growing and the stem is not soft from overwatering.
Plant health
Problems to watch for
Soft stems near the soil line usually mean too much water or a cold wet pot.
Weak pale growth means it needs more light.
Leaves and stems can bruise or snap during transport.
The flavor is strong. Use small amounts first if you have not cooked with it before.
Current condition
Check before pickup
How wide and branched the current 1 gallon plants are
Whether the plant has been outside or kept protected
A photo of the exact plant being held
Whether a smaller 3 inch plant would be better for the available space
