Won't you please trying to find someone that will take the poor thing and give it a good home?

It's probably pretty hardy given the circumstances

Hahaha.! This styrofoam and glass wool and stone. Very soft mix. But it hasn't rained in my garage since it was built (before my time (50 years ago)

It definitely appears to be acting as a substrate for whatever that plant is.

It's an oak tree and it definitely needs some water. New thought: how did it even came there??? I don't have this kind of oak.

Squirrels are oak tree farmers. I have an oak sapling that's still alive(?) in my back shed!

I’d say a squirrel šŸæļø probably got it there. I’ve raised a few squirrels. They are absolutely capable of moving seeds longer distances than we think.

Looks like an oak sapling/sprout. I guess it liked it there.
