Help! I’ve thought this was mint but it’s occurred to me that it looks a lot like oregano. And the leaves aren’t getting more pointed like mature mint. What is it?

    Hmm some variety of mints have rounded leaves, but I agree yours looks like oregano. What does it smell like when you tear a leaf?

      Hmm it definitely has an earthy smell, but also maybe a little citrusy.

      I wish you could send the smell over the internet lol. My mom suggested maybe Greek oregano. I looked at pictures online and some looked a lot like yours, while others looked quite different. So that’s not really conclusive 🤔

      I’m 99% sure it’s oregano now. I’ve had it for so long, the “mint” would have to be mature at this point
