Last year I started my first "bonsai project" and I'm in need of some very basic help, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
For starters, I have very little experience in this, I merely took an apple seed and planted it in a random pot to see if it will grow and now after a year I have a healthy (I hope) little apple sprout. I don't know if I can make it into a bonsai tree but I count on you guys to tell me if it is possible.

When strong enough, plant it outside and wait a few years. Use that time to study bonsai - they are NOT created by growing plants in little pots.

Is it possible to influence the growth in a healthy manner?
Would re-potting it in something bigger help it grow and stay healthy?
I'm all ears on any suggestion about the soil and other types of trees that could help me develop any skill.

I'm very uncomfortable planting it outside due to children and animals so I keep it on my highest balcony with the most sun available. I keep it inside during winter though.

How do you think plants survive in nature? Trees belong outside. Keep it indoors in winter and it will die.
