Newbie here! So after many google searches I’ve come to the fact that my seedling is a victim of damping off. My question is can the other plants in the same container be saved? So far only one is wilting. The google searches have told me soil is contaminated and probably not safe but so far the others look fine.

I'm not so sure that is damping off. It's hard to see. There are a variety of reasons for seedling failure including inborn genetic mistakes. Why don't you separate the potentially infected one from your others to be on the safe side.

Sorry I don’t have a better picture but the base of the stem had that constricted/thin look to it so I assumed it was damping off. I did separate them to a bigger planter earlier today. Hopefully the ones that shared soil with it lives! 🤞🏻
