    You may be lacking phosphorus. If there is a lack of phosphorus in the soil, plants will have little to no blooms. You can either use a phosphorus rich fertilizer or add some bone meal to the soil. This article may help as well:

    The general diagnosis for non-flowering is that there is not enough sun, or too much nitrogen in the soil. So the first thing you could do is move your plants to a sunnier spot. This may sound like a lot of work, but remember gardeners often have to move plants around until they find the perfect spots for all of them -- and then they go and move them some more, just because. Another thing to do would be to add phosphorous in the form of bone meal. (I personally try to avoid using high-phosphorous fertilizer if I can because of the dangers to the environment of fertilizer run off.) You might also increase the organic content of the soil with mulch. Here's an article that might give you some more tips: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/chocolate-vine/chocolate-vine-plants.htm

    You mention watering everyday, water only when the top inch or 2 of soil is dry. The pot appears large for the size of plant you have, so the roots are most likely waterlogged.

    You may want to repot into a smaller container. I do think the plant will improve and then if need be you could go up to a larger size.

    If you are closely following the directions on the packaging of each, and if your Chocolate Vine is getting plenty of water, in partial shade and in well-draining soil, it should be fine. Be careful to not overuse it. Here is some additional information on growing Chocolate Vines: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/chocolate-vine/chocolate-vine-plants.htm

    You will need to read the package application directions to determine if it is recommended for ornamental vines.
    I would however recommend the use of Neem Oil. Neem Oil is organic and safe for people, pets and bees.
    Follow application directions for this product also.

    I would search local sellers and garden centers.
    Try Ebay and Etsy, these are often great places to find more unusual varieties.
