I am not talking about watering them, it's about actually training the bonsai you have.
- I check all of them for watering needs twice a day.
- I pinch, prune, wire, unwire, tweeze them for weeds, pluck old needles, check for pests, apply peroxide, fungicide, neem oil, and rotate them every two days in average.
I am lucky, having a bench at work and some tropicals at home, so I can work on them whenever I get free time.
Some of my big trees are in the countryside, at my brother's property, so those only on weekends...
What about you?

If they need, of course!
If they don't, I live them alone.

Twice per day. In the morning mostly watering and looking for pests or health issues. In the evening is when I study them and do some tweaking. All of mine are growing trunks and roots so I am mostly trying to keep them healthy until they get bigger.
