Aloe soil turning bright green

Has anyone seen this before and knows what to do?! My aloe propagation looked healthy for months, until today when I turned the pot around and noticed the side facing the sun was bright green!
The soil in your potted plant is turning green because there is algae, mold, or moss growing in it. These will grow in the soil because of too much moisture, humidity, poor air circulation, and decomposing material. Most of these are not dangerous to the plant but can still affect its growth.

It’s in a glass container so when watering, the moisture stays trapped in the soil, increasing humidity and causing this to happen. Overwatering is a big issue with this. I would stop watering for a couple of days to avoid root rot as well, if your soil is this moist.

Repotting in a pot with drainage will also help your plant πŸ€—πŸͺ΄πŸ’š
@kscape has a good answer. Your aloe plant looks healthy so repot it as suggested. Pot drainage is important. 😊
