These are very drought tolerant and will not tolerate moist soil for very long. This will cause an infection in the soil. This is likely the case now. If at all possible, you will want to repot with fresh soil and replace 1/4 of the water next time that you water with hydrogen peroxide. This will help kill off any remaining infection. You should only need to do this once.
