moisture from condensation traps mold spores from the air or spores that were already there. The dark, moist environment provides a great place for mold to grow.

The main cause of mold in any situation is moisture. Maybe you could try using a de-humidifyer. Another solution would be to run the heating unit for a few minutes a day until mold dries.
