They really do smell a bit like chocolate. Had this plant for almost 2 years now and it's finally showing its love.

Cool, now I want one.

I was reading about them (because of your post) and it says the they are sensitive to direct sunlight. I see a lot of sunlight here, is that where you usually keep it? I have a sunny foyer I want to fill with plants

it's a mostly west facing window and gets super bright afternoon/evening light. It's been in that window all spring and summer and seems to like it fine :)

Well that's great news for me, thanks! Eastern floor-to-ceiling windows so maybe I'll see how it goes on on the farthest wall
