I've got a few. I used to have lots more, there's an old thread in here called Indoor Squad from my old apartment. It was practically a jungle. 

 

My biggest 2 right now are a Spindle and a Red Latan. I've got a fishtail, a foxtail, and a couple Dypsis that are very happy with the grow lights in the Palm Condo™ I built for them. There's a few succulents and philodendron in the mix too.

Getting a Bactris major tomorrow that I will grow in pots and raise it like a Dypsis lutescens for some time until I move to a tropical place. I will share photos of it when I plant it.

Nice one, I have that many plants and palms yet none indoors. About the best I do is in my screened of area at my front door. I see your mix is a bit on the wet side  keep an eye on your watering and try not to overpot your plants. But indoor container growing has great rewards. Before i owned my property and rental was the go I used to collect palms in containers and create mini indoor jungle’s now I live in a tropical jungle I call my garden. With so many plants I will stick to my greenhouse.

Here's my new and first Bactris major. This will only be an indoor plant in the coldest winter days. The spines are still very small, barely visible for my cellphone.

Wait two leaves more and you won't be able to handle it anymore 😄

Pretty sure Acrocomias are spinier than B. major, the only difference is that B. major has bigger petiole spines. I like spines in palms so I'm pretty sure I will handle it. Heard these are not fast nor slow, I hope it starts pushing new leaves soon!
