A closed ecosystem is a self-sufficient miniature system in which plants, moss, and a small amount of water work together to create a natural balance. All within a glass terrarium.

This type of ecosystem is often called a mini-ecosystem or gel-sealed terrarium because it mimics a complete ecosystem on a small scale.

In a closed terrarium, water slowly evaporates due to the heat of the light. The water vapor then condenses on the glass and drips back into the soil. This creates a natural water cycle, just like in nature. The ecosystem plants use the light for photosynthesis, producing oxygen and absorbing CO₂. This keeps the ecosystem alive without you having to open it or water it regularly.

A well-designed plant ecosystem can last for years with minimal maintenance. All it needs is indirect daylight and a stable temperature.

At The Green Bottle Garden , each closed terrarium and mini-ecosystem is carefully crafted with the perfect mix of plants, soil, and decorations. This creates a beautiful, living piece of nature that maintains its own balance. Perfect as a sustainable gift or stylish home decor. All ecosystems are shipped ready-made, so you don't have to worry about either you or the recipient assembling them yourself.
