can you guess this vine with heart-shaped leaves?

hints:

• it has tiny, sharp thorns along the stem.
• it is not sweet potato.
• it is growing in a tropical wet climate on hawai'i island

any tips for fertilizing plants that are mostly or entirely in the air?

i have some #vanilla plants that are crawling their way through the forest. i have no idea where they touch the ground, but they have plenty of air roots.

i was thinking of fertilizing them, but realized i don't know what to do. maybe a mist or spray bottle? but then what goes in the bottle? at what concentration?

thanks in advance!
