Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until germination occurs, which typically takes 7-14 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOregano thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system, then reduce watering as the plant matures. Prune plants regularly to encourage bushy growth and harvest leaves as needed. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch in winter to protect the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100mg of Italian Oregano seeds (Origanum vulgare).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824812654902,"sku":"FOLIA2-1325","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6466507100_ngk9.jpg?v=1793004785","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/italian-oregano-seeds-100mg-heirloom-non-gmo-culinary-herb","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
