# Meet Romeo. My Cuban Oregano. 1 week difference after taking it home…

Meet Romeo. My Cuban Oregano. 1 week difference after taking it home from the nursery. I didn’t have a pic on the same day but he was really flat to the rim lol. The 1st pic is the 12 hr difference then today 6 days later. His leaves are the size of my palms. I love him 💚

It’s stretching for more light

What do you mean by that? If you meant leggy coz not enough light, well it’s not lol. It’s a happy plant getting good amount of light 🤲. It pushed a lot of new leaves and stems and pushing more. The leaves are big around 3-4 inches. Stems are thick and nodes are compact. Also, turgor pressure. The leaves do droop or level out whenever I leave for few days and it needs water.

I had 8 mum cuttings and the one that behaved like this grew a lot in short amount of time including auxiliary buds. 🤷‍♀️ It “prayed” indoor then eventually outdoors lol. I have a big mum that behaved like this too when it was young and then eventually became a monster. I usually notice this in fast growing juvenile plants too. The lower leaves do droop a little once they mature. AND when leaves are straight up and not on angle, it’s stress.
