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!

These tomatoes are a product of Fukuoka's #DoNothingFarming method.

They are harvested from volunteer plants that pop up in the weeds growing in our pig pasture plantings. We carefully seed our pig's slops with our favorite rustic local varieties, some of which have been developed here on our farm.

Every week we harvest pots and pots from seed that our pigs worked into the soil. How awesome is that?
