All,

 I tried the same thing a few weeks ago on some D.burmanii, and they
have already doubled in size! When I first dropped some flakes onto
the leaves, I could actually see the tentacles moving quite quickly
(this plant tends to exhibit this feature anyway) and within a few hours
the entire leaf has folded over them.

bye for now,

Russell
