Life is actually pretty simple. “Things” (mold, microbes, parasites, anything really) grow where the basic conditions for their life exist. Those can be water, food source, temperature, pH, sunlight etc.
So to answer your question, if there are the basic conditions for life to exist, it will occur. Eventually, on the surface of lets say a table, where those resources are all used up, they will die off. This can be hours, days, weeks, or years!
