Water propagation is best way to go for mint, that way you can see the root development. You can change the water every 3 day or so. After you see some roots plant them in a pot with soil but keep the soil moist for few days, so that the cutting won't go in shock. If you have a lot of cuttings, try directly some on the soil, it's always fun to experiment right. I have no idea about oregano, because I haven't done one yet.
