Congratulations! It sure has potential. I would recommend that you move it to the brightest spot you’ve got ( they need plenty of light ).  
Water it carefully so it doesn’t get overwatered. When it has started to get stronger and grow new buds you can go ahead and repot it into some new fresh soil. Also pruning it back will help you get a more even crown on it.
