Hello
I would like to know what is your opinion about this type of bonsai?
It is more difficult or more easy?
anyone have one?

Looking at the size of the pot, and thinking of a warm day in summer, I think it is clear that taking care of mame bonsai will be more difficult than taking care of larger sized trees in larger, deeper pots.

I cannot monitor such trees multiple times per day, so no, I don't.

I really wonder what kind of people live along this ones 24/7, do they do anything else apart monitoring the trees?

I have a few i think there fun.
As far as looking after them goes there no more difficult than my other trees.
Apart from in the summer i bury the pot in a large container full of damp substrate to help keep them cool.
And i also if its really hot i put some damp sphagnam moss on top of the soil as a mulch its easy really, and i dont monitor mine all day long but if it is going to be a hot day i make sure the large pot the mame are buried in is damp and the sphagnam moss on top is aswell then i check them again with my other trees in the afternoon.
As for the rest of the aspects of bonsai like wiring and pruning, etc.etc. its just a bit more fiddly and a bit more thought is taken.
Easy peasy.

do you recommend any book?

I can recommend this one:

www.amazon.com/Majesty-Miniature-Shohin-...ecrets/dp/0976755068

I got it for 15 euro though

nice thanks
