Shake off all of the dead leaves. It will encourage new shoots to come out. Also Fukien Teas like to be watered but hate wet feet! They are very forgiving in sub-tropical/tropical climates and show when they are unhappy with watering or the climate so don't fret too much, think of it as the tree's warning to you. Direct sun isn't bad unless you don't keep it constantly watered.

Thats my two cents. I have many Fukien Teas and they have always liked those conditions. From the trees that have died it has always been overwatering so thats something to look out for.
