How to Grow Cuban Oregano and Things to Note
The formal name of Cuban oregano is curly-leaf mint; in some places it is called bee balm, honey flower, and so on... Because it can absorb harmful substances and gases from the air, it is very popular with everyone. The place of origin of Cuban oregano is the Mediterranean, and it entered our country during the Qing Dynasty.
Growing methods
Propagation: Cuban oregano can be propagated by sowing, cuttings, and division; cut off the new roots growing from the stem and replant them, and they will survive and propagate.
Watering: Generally, watering once or twice a week with clean water is enough. If the branches and leaves become wilted, water must be added immediately to restore growth. In addition, nutrient solution can be applied at intervals to promote its growth.
Pruning: Because Cuban oregano grows quickly, it needs to be pruned in time, generally once a week. Just cut off the new leaves growing on the taller nodes; if black edges are found on the leaves, simply remove them.
Pests: There is no need to pay too much attention to pests; Cuban oregano gives off a unique scent and can absorb harmful gases.
Temperature: The suitable growing temperature for Cuban oregano is between 10 and 20°C. Overall, its temperature requirements are not very high, but in winter it can also withstand temperatures below 0°C; if it is in high temperatures above 30°C in summer, its growth will be hindered and it needs to be cooled down.
Sunlight: Cuban oregano is best placed in a bright place indoors, and normal indoor ventilation must be ensured; if it is placed in a special indoor place, such as a bathroom, where the light is not very good, then note that after placing it for a period of time, Cuban oregano should be put in a place with ample sunlight for light exposure.
