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.

Good, not perfect
I do like that this is safer for the environment. And it goes on just fine. Not greasy or anything. If you only use a little and rub well, your skin doesn't turn a ghostly white. Does great and I never have to reapply even after being outside sweating in heat and humidity all day. BUT, for some reason this is the only sunscreen I've ever used that has left a black ring around my finger where my wedding band sits. I've used a ton of sunscreens and I'm not sure why this one does it, but it's super annoying.

Does not work
This product does not work very well. Also does not rub in easy and takes several days to get it off of you.

Caribbean approved sunscreen
we bought this sunscreen due to the fact that the Caribbean doesn’t allow other sunscreens that are not Reef safe. I’m usually not a fan of mineral sunscreen due to the fact that it leaves a white residue. This sunscreen still leaves a white residue, but it is a very minor white residue. It worked well for the pool on our cruise ship and for the ocean. I didn’t have to reapply as often as I thought I would have for a mineral sunscreen. I don’t know if I still feel that the product was worth the price/amount, but I was overall satisfied with the Protection it gave us.
