Potted or mounted? I had mine too bright for a while. It's been growing happily about 7" under a single t5 flourescent for the past year. Mounted it likes water every day, even twice in active growth-- another lesson learned the hard way after some sulking and leaf drop. (sulking mine, leaf drop, plant.) You're right on for air flow - would assume that's even more critical if growing potted.
I can't detect any fragrance, though I've heard others say they are. This is the third year blooming and nary a scent from mine. Independent sniffers concurred.
In any case, it's incredibly rewarding to grow. Charming as all get out, and so much flower for such an itty bitty plant.
