How to Water Cuban oregano?

Originating from the semi-arid regions, mexican mint has adapted to thrive with less frequent hydration, exhibiting a preference for drier conditions. It is resilient against drought, maintaining its vigor even when water is scarce. For optimal growth, watering every week suffices to meet its moderate moisture needs. As an herb commonly cultivated in containers, mexican mint benefits from well-draining soil that prevents waterlogging, which aligns with its low-water adaptability and enhances its aromatic foliage.
