Impatiens Sodenii Leaf Problem

Long Beach, CA

I have a small impatiens sodenii in a pot. It was transplanted from a yard a few weeks back. After some intial leaf drop it seemed to be doing OK. But recently many of the new and remaining leaves are developing spots and brown tips and edges. The soil is well drained and the location gets morning sun only. I don't see any obvious signs of infestation (spider mites etc). Any thoughts as what the problem might be?

Thanks for any insights.

I don't know anything about impatiens or plant illness, but on first glance it reminds me of something that has been burned.....Maybe even the morning sun is too much for Impatiens? I know they usually like deep shade....

The general info i found on I. sodenii all states full shade to filtered sun (dappled sun under trees) in all areas except the cool coastal area like San Francisco.
