Mold and Mildew

What can cause mold or mildew on the sides of a plant pot?

I have a 6 inch, terra cotta pot that I have an aloe plant in.

I give it 8oz of water a week. It is growing very well, with no signs of root rot

I have been wiping it off with soap and water.

so what could I do to help stop it from forming? am using too much water? the soil is dry down to the first knuckle, and I have two inches of pebbles in the bottom of the pot.
