That's a really good deal, especially since you ship.  I have one of these (that I bought locally), that I never ended up planting, but it has thrived, in a pot here and seems to a really tough palm.

Pictures worth a 1,000 words!  

I don't even know what a C. Alba is (but I'm a rookie)

Copie albas are tough as nails, and don't turn into enormous monsters. Crowns are about 3 feet (1 M) across, trunks about 6" once you remove old leafbases, closer to 12" with leafbases on. Full sun, cold, heat, won't faze them.

They're great for that spot where you need something that does not require fussing over.

Those plants are still straplings. By segmented fronds spikes become really horrific.

That pair will quadruple in size in those pots this summer. They aren't slouches when they have a bit of room to grow.

I was amazed at how large the root structure was on them.

 

How much sun have they been used to at your nursery?

They were under 20% shade,  but have seen 100f+ just about everyday for 60 days.

You got a pretty good price on those. Some of the first palms seeds I germinated about 4 years ago were C. Albas. Despite being pretty slow from seed, they've been a joy to grow since they don't complain about much. Even my larger C. Albas that I have in large pots are not fussy at all. I leave them on a covered deck in winter time, barely water them, and they don't flinch. One of my favorite palms. And hey, even as 6-8 inch seedlings, they'll "grab ya" too- Lol

I do not think, that can make a houseplant. In shade it stretches the petioles, which are equiped with very nasty spines. I had trouble with this plant in my  cold frame because of those spines.

Phoenikakias, do you have any in ground? I feel these would do excellent where you are. They can take drought, heat and are cold hardy; not that it gets that cold where you are.

Here is mine which arrived yesterday afternoon and is now happily in the ground.  It's going to get nearly 12 hours of sun in this spot.  Thanks Joe!
