Trouble with Impatiens Clippings

Hello all. I am new to the forum. Happy to be here and hope to obtain and receive lots of helpful hints from the plant gurus on the forum.

A few days ago, I noticed one of my impatiens was limp and distressed. The others planted next to it were both fine so I decided to put cuttings from the upset plant in water in an effort to save it. All was well, the clippings perked a few hours after being cut. The next day however, some were limp. This morning I noticed even more were limp. They are sitting in a indoor greenhouse with filtered light from a large window.

Any advice on what is going on? This is my first time propagating impatiens. I am accustomed to placing plants in water and after a few days or weeks depending on the plant type, they root and thrive. Once roots are established, I move them to dirt and viola I have a new plant. Having some issues now.. please help. Thanks.
