Civi Marble
Known as Haworthia Civi Marble or Civi Variegated across local Pakistani nurseries, this rare collector succulent features light-green fleshy leaves with striking cream and yellow striped variegation.

A collector's Haworthia, striped rather than plain
Civi Marble is a variegated Haworthia — the same tough, compact rosette of thick pointed leaves, but with the green broken by irregular bands of cream and soft yellow. No two plants carry the same pattern, and the variegation is stable rather than something that fades out as the plant matures.
It is slow. Variegated tissue has less chlorophyll than plain green tissue, so the plant simply has less engine to grow with. That is the trade for the markings, and it is also why these stay collector plants rather than becoming common.
Light
Bright indirect light, and this matters more here than with an ordinary Haworthia. The pale sections have no pigment to protect them, so they burn before the green does — direct afternoon sun through glass will leave permanent scars on exactly the parts you bought the plant for. An east window, a bright desk set back from the glass, or a north-facing sill all work. Too little light and the new growth comes in greener as the plant compensates.
Water
Very little. Every two to three weeks in summer, less in winter, and always after the soil has dried out completely. A slow-growing plant uses less water than a fast one, so the standard succulent schedule is already slightly too generous for this one.
Water at the soil rather than into the rosette. Water sitting between tightly packed leaves in warm weather is how the crown rots. If the leaves go soft and translucent at the base, that has already started — how to save a dying succulent covers the recovery.
Soil and potting
Gritty and fast-draining, in a small pot with a drainage hole. Haworthias have modest roots and resent sitting in a large volume of damp soil. The soil mix guide has the ratio we use.
Growing it on
Like other Haworthias it clusters, producing offsets around the base over a year or two. Those can be separated and grown on, and they keep the variegation — the propagation guide covers dividing them cleanly.
Good to know
Non-toxic to cats and dogs. Its size and its tolerance of indirect light make it a genuine desk plant, not just a windowsill one.
