Repotting will not solve your problem, unless the person who potted it in the current substrate did not clean the rootball from the loamy fieldsoil it was most likely imported in. If you have little larvea in the soil, it is probably too wet too long. Carmona is a tricky species. It does need a fairly humid environment, and fairly high temperatures, cannot dry out completely, but hates roots that are too wet.

In the end, it is sold by the millions every year, but is a difficult species to keep happy. I feel selling these is almost criminal. Can they be kept indoors, of course. I know a bonsai trader who keeps these in one of the rooms. But he has double green thumbs. For those without very good feel for plants it is hard to do.
