Carpentaria acuminata indoors

I received this palm two weeks ago and it has grown about 4" of spear since then (only indoors). I ordered this as a substitute for an Areca triandra which never arrived as the seller sent me an Arenga . I know the Carpentaria might be too light-needy indoors, but I just like this Australian native:D . Does it look healthy to you (aside from the cracks in the leaves)?

About one year later:

not as rapid as I thought it would grow (unfolded one spear and produced two entirely new leaves), but very trouble-free even without artificial lights at room temperature during winter. Outdoors from early/mid-May till early/mid-September. Considering its habitat I am very happy that it isn't that heat-demanding.

 

How many leaves produce similar-sized specimens in more tropical environments within one year?

Now another 16 months later with a pot 3 times the size of the previous one, the palm is still in good health despite some leaf burns during our heat wave last summer. It really is an easy palm to care for if you can accept that it may not look perfect all the time.
