🌞 Care Guide: Grow Like a Pro
️ Light:
• Full sun to partial shade (6+ hours direct light daily)
• Thrives in hot, sunny spots (balconies, patios, south-facing windows)
💧 Watering:
• Let soil dry out completely between waterings
• Water deeply but infrequently (once weekly in summer)
• Overwatering = root rot; underwatering = crispy leaves
🌡️ Temperature:
• Prefers 60-80°F (15-27°C)
• Hardy outdoors in zones 5-9; bring indoors if frost threatens
✂️ Pruning & Harvesting:
• Pinch off top 2-3 inches regularly to prevent legginess
• Harvest before flowering for best flavor (flowers = bitter taste)
• Cut just above a leaf node to encourage side branching
🪴 Soil & Potting:
• Well-draining, sandy soil (oregano hates wet roots!)
• Add perlite or sand to improve drainage
️ Common Mistakes to Avoid:
❌ Overwatering – Oregano is drought-tolerant; less is more!
❌ Shady Spots – Needs full sun for intense flavor
❌ Letting It Flower – Pinch buds to keep leaves tender & tasty
❌ Heavy Soil – Clay retains water; use gritty, well-draining mix
