"A practical handbook on propagating the threatened plants of South Africa" by Geoff Nichols.
An interesting read, if you're propagating non-cacti succulents.

Re: Growing Rare Plants online book
Very interesting read. A bit late for my Mondia whitei as I harvested it over 5 years ago.
This seems to suggest that symbiotic fungal or bacterial organisms are associated with asclepiads. This may require some experimentation.Orbea, Brachystelma, and some Ceropegia and Raphionacme are best grown from seed ... ... Use some of the local soil to inoculate the nursery soil to assist in healthy growth.
