Frequently asked questions
Oregano
Is every oregano equally strong in flavour?
No. Species and cultivars vary; confirm the supplied type when a particular culinary flavour matters.
Can I keep the soil permanently soggy for fast growth?
Avoid stagnant wet roots. Good light, drainage and modest harvesting are more useful than constant saturation.
Can it share a wet pot with basil or mint?
Separate pots make it easier to give this herb a drier, better-drained root zone than thirstier herbs.
Does drought tolerance mean a small pot never needs water?
No. Check the root mix and water when needed; limited pot volume dries differently from an established garden plant.
