If you&#8217;re someone who likes to keep your home nice and warm, mold will thrive. If you tend to keep it more on the chilly side, mold may deactivate for a time. However, just because the spores are deactivated, it&#8217;s still there. It&#8217;s only going to lie dormant until the conditions are right for it to grow again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Beginning of Mold<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Conditions need to be right for mold to grow and thrive. All you need is a mold spore, food for the mold, the right amount of moisture and the right temperature.
