Cuban Oregano LIVE PLANT
Plectranthus Amboinicus

This herb goes by many names, such as: Mother of All Herbs, Spanish thyme, Mexican mint, Puerto Rican oregano, Dominican Oregano, and Indian borage. 

Listing is for one rooted plant. Plants are grown in 72 cell trays so that they will be rooted but small enough for efficient shipping.
***Please note these plants grow quick so sometimes I have to cut the top off (see last photo in the listing) to fit it in the shipping box. But no worries, they will grow back quickly and frequent "topping" promotes more side branching and leaf production. ***

Cuban Oregano is neither an oregano or Cuban. Its actually part of the mint family and is native to parts of Asia, Africa, and India. This semi-tropical herb thrives in hot climates when many other herbs cannot. The broad leaves have a soft fuzzy sensation with a strong mint/oregano/lemon type of flavor. Its high medicinal and is used to make tea, dried as a seasoning, or added to marinades for various meats. Like other members of the mint family, this is a vigorous plant that spreads when its stems touch the soil and get rooted. However, the stems are much thicker making it easier to gram and pull them out if needed. In extreme heat, like my Florida garden, it grows much better in partial shade to shield it from the afternoon sun. Therefore, I grow it under my fruit trees. 

This is a tropical plant that does not like the cold. Protect smaller/baby plants when temperatures drop below 40F. Once mature and established they can endure a little more cold, but expect some leaf damage. If your in zones 9 and up, it will survive the winter. Zones 8 and below will need to bring in doors for the winter. Heavily prune down the plant, put in a pot, and bring in doors. Or you could take a bunch of cuttings and root them in water during the winter.

When can I start harvesting leaves? Leaves can be harvested right away. But I recommend allowing this starter plant to grow stems that are at least over 1FT long before harvesting leaves.

Growing Conditions
USDA Hardiness Zones: 9-11
Does not like temperatures below 40F. 
Perennial evergreen - will lose leaves if exposed to too much cold
Sun: Full sun or partial shade
Soil: Everything grows best in soil that is heavy in composted organic matter BUT this plant grows just fine in a variety of soils without amendments, like my native Florida sandy soil.
Water: Monitor young plants and keep consistent water. Once established, the can survive periods of drought.
Fertilizer: Not really necessary for mature plants, but for young/smaller plants I recommend mixing in blood meal into the planting hole which is high in nitrogen and promotes lush leafy growth.

Takes time to install right.

Saw a few complaints about this product in the reviews before ordering but gave it a shot anyways. Took a little longer than I would have liked to install, but was only time consuming, not difficult. I made sure at least 2 screws on each base plate were into studs so it's more than sturdy. Hung each of the 3 brackets by 1 screw, marked the rest of the holes, took it back off the wall, installed anchors where needed, and finally screwed each back up fully. And for the people saying that the threads don't line up once snug, try switching out a fitting or pipe so it's a different thread mesh. If that doesn't work, just over tighten the fitting. Furthest one I pushed was nearly 3/4 of a turn past finger tight. I don't have a single loose connection on the whole shelf. My wife can't wait for us to go to lowes tomorrow for the wooden shelves to finish off the bookshelf this will be for her.

Worth the money!

Such a good buy! High quality and easy to assemble. I will warn that hanging them is a little tricky (We read several reviews saying this and thought “they’re just dumb”, we were definitely wrong. I recommend installing/ attaching the middle level of plates first before attaching the tops and bottoms. It just made it easier for us to keep everything level throughout the process) but other than that very happy with this purchase! We hung three 12 inch boards inside and it added SO much storage and looks so nice! Definitely worth the money!

Takes up a lot of visual space
Size: 3 Set 4-Tier, Planks Not Included
Great product. Goes together easily and quickly. Everything was there that was needed. Looks great and is consistent with my industrial look; however, we're converting a stairwell to the basement to a pantry and wanted to use these shelves there. It takes up an inordinate anount of visual space and made it feel claustrophobic to me. I tried to come up with someplace to use it, but it's a very small house. If you have the space, you won't be disappointed with these shelves.
