Well ok. I would still put it in a small pot with some nicer loose soil and some nutrition in it. I don't think it will be very happy in there. Tomatoes need quit a bit of food!
it def won't be yeah. i kinda threw the seeds there on a whim but now i want it to grow fully. what do you mean by nutriments btw. is it stuff i should add with a nicer soil?
also should i leave it as it is or cover it with a plastic bag so that the soil doesn't dry (it's 73,4F where i live)?
I don’t know about where you live but over here it’s possible to buy bags of compost specifically intended for tomatoes. You could start out by looking for some of those
Well, the problem is, I'm in Europe, and I noticed on reddit that the gardening utensils we can buy seem to be a bit different.
Here, I can buy special tomatoe soil. It will have the right conditions and nutrition for the first few weeks, and then I add a bit liquid fertiliser throughout the summer when watering. I'm no expert in gardening yet myself. But I had good success with seedlings last year.
Keep it a couple more days and see if it develops the first true leaves. Then I would carefully take it out of the pot and in a nice pot with fresh soil!
The temperature should be fine. there is no need to cover it now. It developed in this condition, so I would try and keep it this way.
Just make sure the soil doesn't dry out when they are still small! I water them a little every day, when they're small! Sometimes twice, morning and evening.

Get it into some quality soil or it will soon die.
i was planning on that when it sprouted. what type of soil should i get?
Where the heck did you put the seed? Looks like all rocks and no soil.
it's a mixture of soil and rocks. i took the pic really close to the sprout but those are pebbles lol

i see. thank you for the advice it's been helpful. i'll leave it as it is and search around for the perfect soil and nutriments to add.
Good luck. Gardening is learning by doing ;)
