What tree is this? was created by DanParker

Hello guys,
I just picked this tree up from a neighbour who was about to bin it. She had it about a year indoors by a door window. Soil was fairly dry.
I put it straight out side in partial shade and gave it a good watering.
I tried identifying it online but can¡¯t find anything.
Anyone have an idea and any tips to bring it back to health.
Thanks

I'm not sure if it ever has flowered. Like I said I only picked it up this past weekend.
is there anything else I could do to help it?

I cant be sure what soil is in the pot. I guess regular potting compost.
I'm a bit uneasy about repotting it just yet as it doesn't look in the best of shape.

Is it true azaleas like kanamu soil?
Temperatures are between 6C/40F and 16C/60F at the moment in my location. Is that suitable conditions?

Hey guys.
So my kanamu soil just arrived for my azalea but I¡¯m not sure now is the right time to transplant it.
What do you think?
