Minimum: 30+ seeds

Add bold, aromatic flavor to your kitchen garden with Cuban Oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus), a unique culinary herb celebrated for its pungent, oregano-like taste with hints of thyme and citrus. This versatile herb thrives in both outdoor gardens and indoor containers, making it accessible year-round. Its thick, succulent-like leaves are not only fragrant but also rich in essential oils, enhancing the flavor of Caribbean, Latin American, and Southeast Asian cuisine. Beyond its culinary uses, Cuban Oregano also makes a stunning ornamental plant with lush, trailing foliage perfect for hanging baskets or ground cover.

Key Features:

  • Bold Flavor: Offers a potent, savory taste with notes of oregano, thyme, and lemon—perfect for seasoning soups, stews, and marinades.

  • Multi-Purpose Plant: Grown as a culinary herb, medicinal plant, and ornamental foliage for garden beds, hanging baskets, or kitchen windowsills.

  • Easy to Grow: Thrives in warm, sunny environments and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.

  • Natural Pest Deterrent: Its strong fragrance naturally repels mosquitoes and other garden pests, making it a dual-purpose plant.

  • Drought-Tolerant: This hardy, water-wise plant can endure dry conditions once established, making it perfect for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens.

Growing Instructions:

  1. Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light indoors and full sun to partial shade outdoors. Too much direct sun can cause leaf scorch.

  2. Soil Preferences: Well-draining soil is essential. Cuban Oregano thrives in sandy, loamy soils and doesn’t tolerate soggy roots.

  3. Planting: Start seeds indoors or sow them directly outdoors after the last frost. Gently press seeds into the soil without burying them too deep, as they need light to germinate.

  4. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

  5. Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for healthy growth and airflow.

  6. Growth Timeline: Seeds germinate within 14-21 days. Plants reach maturity in 60-90 days, producing lush, aromatic leaves.

Care Tips:

  • Pinch and Prune: Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents the plant from becoming leggy.

  • Overwintering: In cooler climates, Cuban Oregano can be brought indoors and grown as a houseplant to ensure year-round harvests.

  • Pest & Disease Resistance: Naturally pest-resistant, but watch for root rot caused by overwatering.

  • Propagation: Can be propagated easily from stem cuttings, making it a fast and affordable way to expand your herb collection.

Culinary Uses:

  • Caribbean & Latin American Dishes: Essential for flavoring meat, seafood, and bean-based dishes.

  • Soups & Stews: Its strong aroma and flavor enhance hearty stews, curries, and broths.

  • Marinades & Rubs: Add fresh Cuban Oregano to meat marinades for a burst of flavor.

  • Herbal Teas: Infuse its leaves in hot water for a calming, herbal tea with a citrusy twist.

Medicinal Uses:
Traditionally used in folk medicine, Cuban Oregano is known for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and respiratory benefits. It’s used in home remedies for colds, coughs, and sore throats. Crushed leaves release essential oils that can be used to soothe insect bites or minor skin irritations.

Why Grow Cuban Oregano?
Cuban Oregano is more than a flavorful herb—it’s a multi-functional powerhouse that enhances your garden, kitchen, and home. Its vibrant, lush leaves add aesthetic beauty to planters and baskets, while its culinary and medicinal properties make it a must-have for herb enthusiasts. Grow it indoors for year-round use or add it to your outdoor garden as a fragrant, pest-repelling companion plant.

Perfect For:

  • Herb Gardens: Grow it alongside basil, thyme, and mint for a well-rounded herb collection.

  • Kitchen Windowsills: Keep it close for easy access to fresh leaves while cooking.

  • Tropical Gardens: Pair it with other warm-weather plants like lemongrass, ginger, and turmeric.

great resource for high school parents
Format: Paperback
A terrific book -- on many levels. It is, first, a series of excellent suspense stories, with vivid characterizations of the students seeking admission to Wesleyan. The author found some fascinating students to follow, with the result that the reader really cares what happens to them. Even more important -- especially to someone about to embark on the college hunt -- he provides an invaluable insight into how the admissions process works. The admissions game, I now realize thanks to this splendid tale, is a crazy-quilt mixture: at Wesleyan, at least, the process focuses on the individual, quirks and all, far more than I imagined. At the same time, the process comes off as frighteningly random -- with so much depending on which admissions officer reads the application, and what that person focuses on in the few minutes available. The book is also a vivid reminder that admissions officers are people, too -- people of infinite variety. So it was a pleasure to read -- and it will also prove immensely useful to parents. One common theme kept repeating: take the hard courses, even if it means lower grades. Another: having a passion is a real plus, but the rest of the record can't be a disaster. But those are just the beginning.

Very accurate view of admission (I worked there); compelling read, enlightening even for people who think they already know
Format: Kindle
I was a Senior Interviewer during my senior year at Wesleyan 1981 and so I worked with many of the main characters in the book. Although the book describes a later time period it rang entirely true to me. The volume of applications...the controlled chaos...the searching for a hook or a champion for an application was very familiar. At least at Wes it seemed (and seems) that unless one's application has some unusual feature that the school is looking for that year (a particular athlete or a particular musician or a particular tough background that was overcome) the road to admission will be challenging. An area that did surprise me was the emphasis on the family of the applicant...and the degree to which an applicant was held to a higher standard if their parents were deemed to be college fluent. I guess this makes sense and actually provides a leveling of the playing field but it was surprising none the less. It may also be surprising to some that these days you don't just need to convince the gatekeepers that you could be successful at the school..you must also show how your presence would enhance the school. This is of course an enormous burden for most teenagers. Like it or not this is the reality at many "top" schools. If you or your child is applying to college you owe it to yourself to read this book....either to understand the game or to make an informed decision not to play.

What is better? The overachieving 6 or underachieving 8?
Format: Hardcover
First, let me say that I thought that this was an excellent book and would recommend it to anyone who is at all interested in the college admissions process. Second, I was surprised at how many of the reviewers seemed shocked--shocked!--that applicants got bonus points for coming from minority backgrounds. Was this some kind of revelation? However one thing that surprised me a little bit is how--even moving beyond race entirely--the more advantages you have had in life, the more disadvantageous it will be for your admissions process. For example, I was unaware that having successful parents would be, in essence, held against you on the theory that more would be expected of you. While other reviewers have (jokingly?) said that they would advise their white kids not to check the "Caucasian" box, I might advise my (still very young) kids to say that their parents have been unemployed their whole life. I suppose that the main issue which this whole process really boils down to is the following: As a college applicant, is it more important to succeed in life relative to the world around you (i.e. relative to your classmates, to others of your race, to others of your geographical area, to your own parents' life and accomplishments, etc.) or is it more important to succeed absolutely and not on a relative scale. This book clearly informs us that the answer is the former and not the latter. Whether that should be the answer is another question. For example, say that a student's entire life could be distilled into 2 numbers each on a sliding scale from 1-10. The first number is simply your academic performance (grades, SAT's, course load, etc.) The second number is your background (race, economic circumstances, gender, etc.) In the case of Wesleyan, it seems clear to me that they would rather have a student whose first number was, say, a 6 if his or her second was a 2 (take Mig for example in Steinberg's book) than a student whose first number was an 8 if the second number was a 9 or 10 (take Tiffany Wang for example). Whether that is the right approach is certainly a legitimate issue for discusion and I'm not saying that it's not. I suppose that one of the things that would be interesting to know (even though one never really can know of course) is whether those numbers will change in the future. For example, if one were to know that Mig would always be a 6 and Tiffany would always be an 8, would that change the analysis as to which is the right approach? I suspect that part of the reason that a school like Wesleyan would favor the overachieving 6 over the underachieving 8 is due to the hope or expectation that those trends will continue in the future and that one day the 6 will actually be ahead of the 8. And maybe that's the way it works. Who knows.

You will find out how a selective private college evaluate and admit students
Format: Paperback
I'm a high school counselor and college advisor. Fifteen years ago when I started my college counseling position, I struggled to understand or explain to students and their parents how a selective private college evaluate and admit students. It was this book that helped me understand the essence of selective private college admissions. Compared to other dry theory books, this book tells the admissions practice as stories that are easy to read, understand, and associate with. I highly recommend this book to students, parents, and new counselors.
