 Cryptocoryne pontiderifolia is part of the Crypt family which is a large group and not all of them are as easy to care for as Cryptocoryne Pontiderifolia.  It has a slow growing habit.  It has broad leaves and adds interest to the middle ground of your aquarium.  It is very tolerant of water conditions and will grow well in both medium and strong light but may outgrow your tank if grown under bright lights.  Not a plant that will demand a great deal of attention and definitely worth adding to your list.
