Cuban Oregano Cutting (Plectranthus amboinicus) - Live Herb Plant Starter
Cuban Oregano Cutting (Plectranthus amboinicus)
Add a unique and highly aromatic herb to your garden with Cuban Oregano. Known for its thick, velvety leaves and bold fragrance, Cuban Oregano is a favorite among gardeners, cooks, and homesteaders looking for something truly distinctive.
Despite its common name, Cuban Oregano is not a true oregano. This succulent herb produces large, fuzzy leaves packed with aroma and flavor, making it a popular choice for culinary use, container gardening, and indoor herb collections.
Easy to grow and exceptionally forgiving, Cuban Oregano thrives in containers, raised beds, herb gardens, and sunny windowsills. Its attractive foliage and vigorous growth habit make it both ornamental and practical.

IF YOU'VE ORDERED A CUTTING FROM US...
When your cutting arrives, unpack it promptly and provide fresh water or place it into your preferred rooting medium. Keep it in bright indirect light while it establishes roots. Once rooted, Cuban Oregano appreciates well-drained soil and moderate watering. Because it is a tender perennial, gardeners in colder climates often grow it in containers that can be brought indoors during winter.
SHIPPING
Your cutting will be harvested and packaged shortly before shipment. We take great care in preparing each cutting for travel; however, live plants may experience minor stress during transit. Please open your package promptly upon arrival and provide water and appropriate growing conditions.
