At least 6 hours of direct sun per day. Turn plant for even growth because it will tend to grow toward the light source. If growing cilantro under indoor plant lights, keep the light 6 in (15 cm) above the plant and leave it on for 14 hours a day. This is the equivalent of 6 hours of sun.
- Note: We are a family of four and our monthly budget is $2,000.00 roughly, give or take. And that is with us renting a brand new home for about $575 USD per month. Not bad. The cost of living in the Yucatan is about 1/2 to 2/3's of what it is in the US or Canada.
Assisted living communities are typically much less costly. Again, costs vary by state, but the average monthly cost for an assisted living center in most states is between $2,800 and $5,700 per month, with an average monthly cost of $3628. Monthly costs in Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington D.C., Connecticut and New Jersey are higher than average, sometimes upwards of $5000 per month.
