    Have you been changing the water weekly, if not more? If not, that is likely the reason.

    I agree it needs regular cleaning and disinfecting. The same build up of algae and microbes occurs when propagating in water without frequent water changes and cleaning.

    Change the water or it will get a gunky blob.
