It will certainly survive the cracked leaf. It is a minor issue, but indicates the problem that ES has identified - not frequent enough water. Especially with a fresh repot it will be drying out faster. To get a feel for how often to water - water it well (like under the faucet, so water runs through the pot) Let it drain, then weigh it on a postal scale or kitchen scale. Weigh it again the next day and the next. When the rate of weight loss slows (not much more water to evaporate) it is time to water again. After you do this a few times, you will know how often it needs watering - dependent on YOUR conditions, not something that you can do by the calendar, These want to get close to dry but not completely dry, they want "humid air" around the roots,
