My string of hearts is healthy (I think). I know… tangled!!! I’ve tried. I’ve also cut and propped some strings. Generally, doing well. But! I’m wondering if the green in the pot is an ominous sign 😬 I do have a few pots with some amount of green, but they seem to be fine. Is it bc it’s a clear pot?

Yes. It's algae from the sunlight and the soil moisture. It will compete for the oxygen and eventally may cause root damage. If using clear pots, use an outer pot to set it in.
