Hi Laura...Welcome to the site, I hope I can be of some help. Ficus and Fukien Tea do not like the cold. They most likely got chilled on the airplane to You. Ficus are pretty though and it should come back in the heat of the summer and It sounds like you have some life in the tea. The main thing to do is keep them warm and give them some sun light till the weather gets warmer and they can be put outside. Be careful not to over water because they have few or no leaves and probably have some root damage as well.
Good luck with your new trees hope they do well.
