Bei manchen davon wachsen die Wurzeln nach oben aus dem Boden heraus. Ich weiß, es hätte Torfmoos sein sollen, ich hatte keins. Soll ich sie umdrehen oder so lassen?

Plants know what they’re doing and which way is up. Those roots have information on them to become whatever the plant needs. There may be some you can’t see going into the soil. If you flip them, then you disrupt any and all progress the root hairs have made.
Nature always finds a way
No, don’t flip them or disturb the leaves. I however would mound a little soil over the roots and the leaf tip, that’s how I do all my suc leaves and I get a pretty great rate of success.
dont touch them. dont look at them. dont photograph them. dont water them. don’t. even. think. about. them.
At what point do you plant them?
I usually flip mine, but I have some leaves like yours that I waited too long to flip. They rooted into the soil below the leaf where I can’t see and the new plant is growing on the top side of the leaf where it should go. Nature takes care of itself…☺ I was shocked yesterday when I discovered mine had rooted into the soil below the leaf where I couldn’t see them, cuz I have all those roots sticking up in the air too.
The ones of yours that are extremely curved I usually flip over or sprinkle a little soil on top of the root area.
They got that way without you, let them continue without you.
i would flip them
I uploaded a similar post and everyone told me to flip them funny thing is even when i did the roots grew out the soil again 😭😭 but my baby is healthy and i can see her now! So i would say it doesn’t matter what you do big girl knows what she wants and she will get it
Unpopular opinion: With succulent leaves, placing them top-side up so the roots are tilted toward the ground before the roots find the ground has always worked better for me. I’ve had several cases of the plant growing into the ground if the leaf was upside down. Once the roots dig into the soil though, it’s too late and they’ll either figure it out or they won’t. Nature finds a way, and usually with succulents that way is 1000 leaves pointing every which way and landing in every possible place so that one can land right and in the right spot. I literally have only succulents, and 99% of them were propped from leaves, so while I’m no expert, anecdotally I’ve found they root and grow much better with the leaves top-side up. You could flip one or two of them and see which way works best for you and your plant.
I would leave them, continue to spritz…they know what they’re doing. If you absolutely can’t help yourself (been there 🙃😅) you could flip the ones that are curled upwards, bc you can tell there are no roots on the underside that you’d be disturbing, since they have that little “curl”. But the middle ones and ones in the back are looking just fine!
I would probably flip those ones that are pointing straight up, the four at the bottom of the photo. The leaves are only going to curl up more as they dry, so, although plants do generally sort themselves out, that’s a fairly tricky situation to sort oneself out of. Maybe tip them onto their sides so the roots can find dirt without being shoved into it?
