How to Care for the Plant
Water
Oregano needs to have the soil dry out a bit in between watering and benefits from frequent haircuts to keep the plant compact and producing leaves.
Pruning
Cut back the stems of the oregano plant using pruning shears to a height of 2 or 3 inches about six weeks after planting. If the oregano plant is regrowing from the previous year, wait six to eight weeks after the plant's new growth begins in spring to prune it back.
Fertilizer
Fertilize the oregano every two weeks with a diluted water soluble food.
