Yes, oregano can grow indoors, but it is moderately easy rather than effortless. It grows best when it gets enough light and is not overwatered.
Oregano prefers bright light, well-draining conditions, and slightly drier soil compared to herbs like basil or mint. Indoors, it can struggle if light is too weak or if roots stay constantly wet, which often leads to slow growth or loss of aroma. It stays compact, which makes it suitable for indoor spaces, but it grows more slowly than softer herbs.
A smart garden can help oregano by providing consistent LED lighting and controlled watering. Steady light supports healthier leaf growth, and measured watering reduces the risk of soggy roots. However, oregano still benefits from not being overcrowded and from occasional drying between water cycles, even in a smart garden.
In real indoor setups, oregano grows reliably with enough light and patience, and performs well in systems like the LetPot when conditions stay balanced.
