I live in Southern California, and it rarely gets below freezing in my
area.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Steve,
I am into Pseudolithos myself and i seem to have success with these gems from Somalia. I grow cacti and succulents in The Netherlands (Europe).
For Pseudolithos I use a mix of grit (1-3 mm) and riversand or coarsesand. 100% mineral. Make sure you seal the drainage holes because your soil will go out if its dry.
I germinate Pseudolithos migiurtinus seeds and other Pseudolithos seeds by lightly pressing them in the soil mix described above. Let the soil soak in warm water and lock the container in a plastic bag. Start pricking holes in the bag approximately two weeks after germination of the seeds.
Good luck!
