The leaves of oregano should show signs of recover over the next few weeks. If your oregano is dying in a pot this is often because the pot is too small or there is not enough drainage holes in the base of the pot which prevents excess water from escaping and causes your oregano to die from root rot. Oregano is native to the Mediterranean where the Winter temperatures are mild. Therefore a relatively large pot is necessary as larger pots have more capacity for soil which helps to insulate the roots of your oregano which are sensitive to cold temperatures.
As oregano is so sensitive to over watering it is essential that there is good drainage in the base of the pot. Avoid using tray or saucers underneath the pot as this can prevent water from draining and cause root rot. Replant your oregano in an appropriately sized pot with good drainage and in multi-purpose compost amended with sand to improve the drainage.

If your move the oregano to an area of full sun with good airflow and well draining soil amended with sand or grit then the oregano should start to recover and the aroma should be more pronounced.

As for my plants, I decided that a late spring cold snap was the likely culprit that caused the problem with phosphorus absorption. The flowers were the only plants affected. As further evidence, I had a few extra plants still in their store pots not in my soil , and they turned purple, too. Rather than rush out for tests and supplements, I decided to adopt a wait-and-see approach, keeping the flowers watered until the weather turned warmer, then continuing with my original feeding plan with a mild, balanced organic fertilizer.
This will result in a dying or struggling individual. We all want our plants to look aesthetically pleasing, especially for those that are kept indoors. But, the act of pruning your Oregano should be done at certain times of the year. The growing seasons, so spring and summer, are when you need to maintain these herbs in full force. Doing so will coax healthy, new growth. The other time of the year that requires this process is once the growing season comes to end.
Keeping dying or dead parts of the plant intact will hinder future blooms. The only parts that should be cut back are the dead or dying stems and flowers.
You can also prune your Oregano so that it is about two or three inches in height. This should be done a few months after being planted since the new growth can be quite bushy. There are bound to be a few problems along the way, even if you meet all of minimal needs. The following are indications that your plant needs help. Cause: Normally, the foliage is a greenish-yellow. When they shift to a purple, your plant may be lacking in phosphorus.
Luckily this is a pretty easy fix. Remedy: Oregano is not a big fan of organic material, but purple leaves may indicate that you should add some compost. You can also choose to find a fertilizer that has this nutrient. Most of them do contain phosphorus. Cause: Those who see their Lamiaceae showing leaves that droop can safely assume that the individual has been overwatered. This usually happens in combination with wilting. Here are the takeaway points to keeping Oregano happy.
Oregano has several uses, mainly cooking and medical. In terms of health, it is said to lower cholesterol, reduce pain, provide antibiotic properties, and contain antioxidants. Culinary purposes involve adding flavor to pizza, pasta sauces, and meat dishes. Some might expect the leaves to taste differently at certain times of the year.
Depending on the severity of the disease, symptoms develop slowly, causing a few branching stems to dry up first. In other cases, the effects can come on suddenly, causing the whole plant to die. Oregano leaves turning brown or slightly reddish, and looking dried out, is usually the first sign of trouble.
The stem near the soil line, may look rotten and feel mushy when the crown is affected. This disease occurs at any time of year, but most commonly in the spring as the soil and air temperatures warm up.
While one of several fungi cause crown and root rot, improper watering and site location allow the disease to take hold. In wet areas, and in poorly drained soil and heavy clay garden beds, the fungus attacks the roots and crown area -- the area at the base of the stem where it attaches to the roots -- causing the wood to get soft and rotten.
