If you plan on keeping it in a pot would suggest re-potting it in one that’s about double the size it’s in now (in the pictures). I’m not sure what types of soil your tree likes, but you should be able to find the appropriate potting soil at a garden center like OSH or Home Depot. Also, container plants need more nutrients than those planted in the ground (they get washed out in the pots), so do a quick search and see if there are any suggested fertilizers for your plant (they vary in the amount of nitrogen, phosphate, and potash). Good luck and keep us updated!

When you do put it outside, just don’t put it where it’s in direct sun all day long. Find a spot where it will be shaded by a tree or building for half the day.
After a bit, think about a slightly larger pot. If it’s slow growing then it isn’t critical yet but it will be good later to make sure the roots have enough room.

It means the plant likes it to be pretty warm, and needs a fair amount of sun. I’d keep it in the kitchen or bathroom, someplace warm and away from drafts. As soon as it heats up, you could probably stick it outside.

um, this doesn't really make sense to me, but this is a start.
