How to Grow

Oregano likes well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 8.0. You can buy soil specifically formulated for herbs or make your own by mixing equal parts of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. Oregano seeds take around 10 to 15 days to germinate, so it's best to start them indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow the seeds in small pots or seed trays filled with damp soil, and keep them in a warm, sunny spot. Oregano needs regular watering, but be careful not to overwater as this can cause root rot. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once the seedlings have grown to around 3 inches tall, they can be transplanted outdoors. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil and space the plants around 12 to 18 inches apart. Harvest the leaves: Oregano leaves can be harvested when the plant is around 4 to 6 inches tall. Simply snip off the stems with scissors and use the leaves fresh or dried.
