my bottle habitat

what do I call this little picture of life? My bottle habitat was something I was very excited about. One problem was I never got it to fully stay sealed. I guess I would name my bottle habitat the broken garden. It offers a bit of peace, a reminder of the green warmer times, but it has its broken zones.
I loved how it can survive over this three month period without any maintenance.

My habitat is a base pond with some vine like structures in the upper bottle with a moss side zone.
I am surprised that with the little amount of sunlight my bottle received that it was still able to have a proper photosynthesis cycle. My plants don't seem to have grown any bigger, all they have done is survive.
I don't understand how it can survive all I know is that it has. I love plants, and I cant wait to try this with my students someday. Plants have always been an interest for me. plant life reminds me of grandmas house, she has 4 huge gardens within her yard, as well as her own greenhouse attached to the back of the house. My bottle habitat is essentially a mini-version of this greenhouse. All I can say is I love plants!
