Anyone else have issues with algae growing in your pots? They do not get watered until they are completely dry and they live in a chunky soil mix. They are placed in a window, which I know light causes algae but is there any way to avoid this? Will it affect my plants at all?
This happens if water + sunlight mixes. If you cover the jars and make it dark, the algae will die. I also noticed orange jars don’t seem to grow algae as fast but I normally just sit the clear ones either in another pot or I wrap the bottom with something.

I’d cover the pot in black tape so algae can’t grow back, water + sun +clear pot = algae

it’s because of the clear plastic pot! the sunlight hitting the moist soil can cause algae to grow. i’d put the plastic pot inside a more decorative pot so the sun doesn’t hit the soil
