Does oregano need something to grow around? My plant has gotten very floppy and starting to fall to the ground. Or have I overwatered or something?

It will not climb. Oregano needs regular pruning. I would cut everything back to the edge of the pot and it should flush out with beautiful new growth.

Okay perfect thank you! And for your comments on watering. That’s what I’ve been doing but it’s good to get a second viewpoint

Also, about watering, as I always say water until it flows out the bottom of the pot and then don't water it until it's to the appropriate dryness. For oregano the top inch of soil should be dry before watering again. If there's no drain hole in that pot that will cause a problem. Is it does have a hole make sure it does not sit in the closet full of water for very long. Let the pot drain and then empty the saucer.

I don't know why you've got closet out of saucer?!
