My snake plant was re potted about a month ago, I realized I used the wrong type of soil by using Pete moss and potting soil mix. The plant won’t stand up straight without support. Do I pull it out and repot immediately?? Or wait for the roots to settle in? Help!

Repot immediately, from what you’re describing it sounds like a serious case of root rot, if you can, post some pictures of the roots and leaves

Just a possible option, I pot mine in Jacks Gritty Mix with regular potting soil mixed in. Probably about 30% or less of regular soil. They are all doing very well.

I hope you are repotting right now, and don’t water right away. It needs to dry.  
Even if you don’t have substrate, it’s best to take it out now, clean the soil off, and let it dry.  
Most succulent soil is not appropriate because it has way too much peat.

Yes, I did repot it. New soil. Thank you everyone I’m sure she will get healthy soon!
