Baby calamondin... Inside or outside?

I just got a 4 ft calamondin tree and I'm wondering if it's better kept outside on my patio for direct sunlight or Best kept inside near the window until it becomes a bit more sturdy.

Any insight would be helpful.

Hi fellow Calamondin lover.
Give it as much direct sunlight as you can. Citrus trees need a lot. Bring it in during winter months (of course) and light it with a full spectrum grow light. It will likely survive in the limited winter light at a south window without a grow light but will suffer greatly (leaf drop etc) so a grow light is essential.
Oh...I see it's listed as not having drainage. It will not survive in any pot with no drainage. You will need to drill a few holes in the bottom.
@WormWarriorFarm thank you so much for your help. I've changed the pot and moved it outside now that's it's warmer here in Colorado.
