Watering: Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between watering. Avoid excessive watering, as oregano prefers well-drained soil.

Soil: Use loose, fertile, well-draining soil to support healthy growth.

Pruning: Trim the stems regularly to encourage bushier growth and fresh foliage.

Fertilizing: Apply a mild, balanced fertilizer occasionally during the growing season. Avoid excessive feeding.

Pot Selection: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging and maintain healthy roots.
