watering
Marjoram (Origanum laevigatum 'Silver Anniversary') should be watered once every week. The soil should be kept slightly moist, but never wet. During periods of increased temperatures or dry spells, watering may be increased to twice a week. Provide water until it comes out of the bottom of the pot, but ensure that the plant does not sit in water.
sunlight
Marjoram (Origanum laevigatum 'Silver Anniversary') needs full sun to partial shade. It is best to give it at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to ensure it grows and blooms to its fullest potential. Placing the plant in a location where it receives morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal for this particular species. Additionally, the soil should be well-drained and receive adequate moisture based on the amount of sun each day.
pruning
Marjoram should be pruned twice a year to encourage a bushy growth habit and prevent it from becoming leggy. Pruning should be done in late winter and early summer. In late winter, remove any dead or diseased branches, as well as any stems which are long and leggy. Doing so will also help promote a fuller plant form. In early summer, prune to shape by cutting back vigorous shoots by around 1 third to another shoot closer to the base of the plant. This will help promote better flowering and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Prune out any flowers which have faded.
