How does mold grow on non-organic surfaces?

I can understand mold growing on bread or cheese or whatever, but how does mold even sustain itself on random ceramic tiles in the bathroom for example?

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!
