Hi, I viewed your photo. I have a plant that is very similar to this one; velvety leaves, great scent, but is variegated; with white and pink along the edges. Do you know if it is the same plant as yours? A friend gave it to me, and originally called it Mexican Oregano. Thanks.

Same, not very exactly. Slightly different as you say in appearance. My plant does not flower. Does yours get a bloom?

No blooms yet; have only had it for about a month; they are certainly easy to root, tho.

Yes, easy to root. If the tips are pruned, you will have more branches, but I'd do it only when the plant is fully established in the soil and conditions.
