How much maintenance is required with a bonsai tree?

I want to take up bonsai as a hobby, and I know that there is alot of maintenance involved.





Pruning of the branches, leaves, trunk and roots are essential. I don't mind all this but would like to ask about the roots.





How often would I need to prune the roots/and or re-pot the tree? Does this vary for different types of bonsai species?|||This website will give you some basic information on Bonsai Care http://www.bonsai-garden.com/
