Depends on where you live

If its cold where you are, the plant is indoors & going through dormancy .... new growth that is curled, or odd shaped - is just lack of water ... and as long as the caudex is firm to the touch - all is normal .... nothing to be concerned about

Once its warm enough to leave outdoors...and the plant is back to regular watering - the plant leaves will return to "normal"......

Not sure what you mean by "marbles" ....if it means the 2 shades of green ...fertilizer may clear that up ...but wait for spring before adding any fertilizer

might also google > "chlorotic" or "chlorosis" > images ...then compare your plant leaves with examples shown in pictures

usually, 2 shades of green, means a lack of iron, or an iron deficiency - but sometimes fertilizer that is high in phosphorus will cause it ... so check your fertilizer ....
Look at the NPK ...(N = nitrogen P = phosphorus K = potassium) and it will be 3 numbers like 13-12-6 ....
If the middle number is higher than the rest, consider another fertilizer ...that has a lower number
