Separate a branch from the plant and carefully remove all the leaves of the branch by the third or fourth eye from the top. Shorten the shoot a little and put it in the container filled with soil.

Fill a planter with

Potting soil and scatter the seeds loosely. Since oregano is a light germ, these must not be covered with earth. Moisten the seeds with a sprayer and keep them evenly moist for the next few days.

In a bright place without direct sunlight, the plants germinate after about a week. Once you have reached a size of ten centimeters, you can separate them.

Multiplication by division
