Cyphophoenix Elegans indoors in pot?

Hello everyone, I bought this Cyphophoenix Elegans over a year ago from Floribunda with no plans of putting it in ground; but I did keep it outside with my chamaedoreas in part sun during the summer. Even in part sun, the cyphophoenix couldn't take our extreme heat and humidity despite being watered frequently. The tips of the leaves dried out and by fall, the palm was clinging on to life when I decided to bring it indoors to my bathroom. 

Since it's been in my bathroom, it's shot out two new fronds and is making a comeback despite the very limited artificial light. Because of this and the fact that I'll never put it in ground outdoors, Ive  thought about moving it into a larger indoor pot for good. Does anyone else have any experiences with cyphophoenix elegans indoors with little maintenance?

 

Here a few pics I took rather hastily...

I'm curious to see if I might grow another type palm this indoors, what was the name of the other posting so I can read about it?  Looks like you did a great job getting it back in shape.  I live in Bay area, and been so busy, that I can only maintain Kentia's, (just lost my #2 Balmoreanas) and Raphis Cecile
