Help, one side of my tomato seedling plant wilt (pls check pict)

Updates: check below post for new picture. Temp degree is in celcius. Maybe its heat stress???? Now the entire plant is dieing... my poor baby

Pls help! One side of my tomato plant became weak, leave just close up and slowly wilting down. I don't think it was overwater, because I believe it happen 8 hours after I water? There was a few cold night few days before.. dropped to 13 degree at night. Could this be cold stress? Pls advise thank you in advance.

13 degree nights would do it. Tomatoes don't like it cold.

If it's Centigrade no problem. My tomatoes do fine at about half that, overnight.
If it's Fahrenheit wouldn't they be completely dead? I think even a light frost would kill them.

Yipe, I didn't think about Celcius and Fahrenheit. I can't understand Celcius. But 13 degree Fahrenheit would do it in. Tomatoes cannot tolerate the lightest frost.

Degrees C; pretty simple:
Zero is freeze point.
100 is boiling point.
20 is nice, 30 is hot, 40 is too hot.
Anything minus is definitely cold and kills tomatoes. :lol:

Based on the above photo I‘m not sure if this is a big concern — it looks like just one leaf is affected?

If the leaf doesn’t recover,go ahead and cut it off. Examine the leaf stem to see if you can seee any damage.


...if more than one leaf has wilted, then consider if it has been hit by herbicide — perhaps aerosolized spray drift.

Sorry I meant 13 celcius at night.. updates: now its fully summer mode (high 25 low 20 celcius).. and the plant has not recover. It's over 5 days now I think should I cut it down? don't want it to affect nearby seedling. Soil is mixpro veg. It should hold all the nuts. Is this what plant stunt look like?

Is there a way you can send can dig up that one plant and place it in another pot to see if it may try and pull through?
What kind of tomato is it? In my opinion, more than one tomato in a pot may not be a good idea.
