If it is just a tinge of green, then it is most likely algae. Moss is actually a plant, and would be a raised surface of green, and also soft feeling.

If you don't like it, you can wash it off with a household bleach solution. But then, I saw a gardening show where somebody wanted her terra-cotta pots to have moss growing on them, so she spread yogurt all over the pots and set them in a cool dark place and then they had green stuff growing all over them. If the pot was from a place that had moisture in the air and they weren't in direct sun or a lot of heat, it could be moss. Hey, some people dig that kind of stuff.

What next? A plant doctor who does dishes? I worked in a terra cotta factory in mexico for 32 months. it's not eather. the green comes for a a drying compound used while waiting for it's turn in the oven. many times the workers get to much on some pots & it bakes with it in the oven.

It could be moss or algae. You can clean the pot (empty pot) with soap and scrub brush. It will take off the algae (usually becomes slimy, yuk!). You may have to wash your pots occasionally, when there isn't anything in them. We did this all the time at a reputable garden in PA.
