Interesting, how about it's maintenance? If it's like what it says, recreating nature on the small scale, does it mean we shouldn't prune or trim anything at all? Let nature takes its course?

It really depends.
That's just like Aquascaping / Planted Tanks, nature vs art.
To each his own really.
For me i know i'd trim it a little just to keep it in shape.
But it being semi-emersed, i think it's not so simple.
More pictures with links (just click the links below the photos) to the setups and discussions:

Saving the best (IMO) for last...

Hi, interesting new way to have nature in you room!

Is there any guideline about what type of plant to be use? Mixture of plant etc? Thanks!

My best answer to all your queries above is to read read and read the above links, do some searches on your own for more information.

No information is absorbed faster nor anything learnt easier than when you do it by yourself!

i.e. (I'm not too sure myself..)

Whoa, this is interesting. A new way for Planted.

I was thinking if the water level is high enough, maybe we can add in an internal filter.

And also we have the get the type of plant correct in the first time as it's a semi-emersed tank, so we have to know what type of plants suits this habitat. Am I not wrong to say this??
