Oregano

Hey there fellow gardeners!

I've tried growing a variety of oregano's (actual oregano, not MJ) in my garden outdoor; Greek, Italian, Marjoram, just plain oregano, but none of them come close enough to the oregano my mom got from family back in Italy. The oregano she grows is so much more fragrant and flavorful than the other kinds which don't taste right too me. They don't smell bad on their own, but they don't work in sauces or salads or pizza as far as I'm concerned.

I was thinking I might be able to take cuttings from ma's garden and start them in my seedling cabinet so that I'd be ready to replant them next spring. However, it being winter (more or less) can I take cuttings from dormant perennials like ma's oregano and 'wake them up' in my cab?

I've got a bunch of rapid rooters that are going to waste, and my I'm not growing bud again till next fall (indoors, of course).

Also, ma told me that the way to root new oregano plants is to take a growing plant bend its top down and bury it into the dirt. Sounds a bit unconventional not cutting it...plus that's outdoors in the spring/summer months.

Anyone familiar with cloning dormant oregano indoors? Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Just get it green and clone it. Clone it like ganja or just put in a glass of water. Should be a fairly easy plant too clone.

Also have you tried giving the oregano some nutes? maybe some good organics? Might help with a more pungent oregeno

I tried transplanting some I dug up from my ma's garden last summer. I think it was too shady in the corner of my yard so they never took. Strange, I've never had that problem with ganja, but that's indoors...

Thanks Liddle
