Because it's flowering pretty fast. Mine is only 5 months old and it is already flowering, there is two specimen in the pot so you can easily compare the genetics. If only it was the same with Dorstenia gigas
Can Dorstenia zanzibarica be considered a weed?

All cacti are weeds, beautiful plants like this are not. It does need feeding though, something with potassium in it, will make it happy and greener.

Dorstenia hildebrandtii is certainly a weed - it pops up in neighbouring pots all the time. If you want to swap weeds next year when the weather is warm, let me know!
