Best way to grow oregano indoors?

[axariotisxy]

Now that it is getting colder I want to still have fresh oregano. I took my plant that I have on the patio during spring and summer inside and placed it on a windowsill. I am worried I am going to kill it! There's nothing like fresh oregano and this is the first time I have taken the plant in during winter. I am concerned it's not getting enough sun, and that I might be over or under watering it. When the plant is outside, I actually don't touch it and it thrives. It gets water when it rains, sun when the sun is out... I don't even have to move it. Now, the plant is starting to look a little sick. I love fresh oregano in my Greek recipes!

Perhaps this can help. I find that tough little plants like oregano do well when left to dry out well then given a good watering… https://www.thespruce.com/grow-oregano-indoors-1902489

Thank you so much! I will try what you said. I guess it makes sense if you think about it, oregano tends to do well in climates that have sporadic rainfall.

My oregano plant loves it when I basically ignore it until the soil dries out, then I water it well. This happens about once a week. You can also try moving it to a different window that gets more sun.
