That’s so funny I have never heard them called house leek just hens and chicks or something. As far as I know they just multiply on their own. See all the babies growing? I think if you want more you would just divide them and separate them so there’s more room for more to grow. Or just take the smaller ones off and put them in a new spot so they can multiply. They just have little roots you can cut off. And you can really just stick them anywhere even if they don’t have roots they will grow, sometimes they are just loose with no roots. Looks like you have a ton!! It’s awesome. There may be other prop methods that work for this plant that I don’t know about. But I’ve always just grabbed one and put it in a new spot and it multiplies on its own eventually.

for hens and chicks props, peel the babies from the base of the larger ones, with some of the stem attatched, stick in the succulent soil
