blue grean fuzz algae?

I just purchased some plants and about a day later I noticed algae starting to grow on them. It is a blue-green color. Do I need to worry about it becoming a problem or is some normal? My tank is still cycling so there aren't any fish in it that could keep it in check. Do I need to get rid of it?

The best reason to watch closely before we add anything to our tanks. At this point you can make adjustments without causing problems for fish. This link may help you sort it out.
Good Luck

Thanks! This does help. I'm beginning to think that the plants I got were already 'contaminated' with algae because it is only growing on the wisteria that I bought and isn't spreading rapidly the way that the article describes it as doing (at least, I like to think that it isn't because I have good water quality =p ) I'm going to try dipping the plants in a bleach solution and rinsing before I start adding chemicals to my tank.
