Damage on Young Plant. A large tomato plant can survive damage better than a young plant, but even a small plant can recover from a broken upper stalk. If the stalk, or stem, is damaged under the lowest branch, however, the plant will not survive.
Water. A lack of water may be causing your tomato plants to wilt. Tomato plants need approximately 1 inch of water each week to remain healthy. If your plants perk up after watering, a lack of moisture in the soil could be the cause of the wilt. Over-watering your tomato plants may also cause wilt. Tomatoes react badly to wet feet, a condition that refers to their roots being trapped in wet soil for extended periods of time.
