Plant Profile: Dorstenia bahiensis - a thirsty rainforest native

(CC) Plant Profile: Dorstenia bahiensis - a native to eastern Brazil rainforests. This is a THIRSTY plant in the Ficus family (Moraceae) with really nice shiny leaves and a very peculiar flower.
Care tips: I water mine about 2x a week, and it receives a decent amount of bright indirect sun in a south-facing window but it would still be happy with less light.
