Oregano prefers a sunny spot; however, in zone 7 and farther south, it benefits from a little afternoon shade. Set plants in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.0.

How much sunlight does oregano need?

Sun: Oregano performs well in part to full sun, but the flavors intensify when it receives a full day of sunshine. Oregano will also grow well indoors, but it's important that the plant receives adequate heat and sunshine. Water: Don't over-water oregano. Water thoroughly, only when the soil is dry to the touch.

How often do you water oregano?

Oregano doesn't need quite as much water as most herbs. As the amount of watering depends on many variables, just water when the soil feels dry to the touch. Remember that it's better to water thoroughly and less often.
