Why it scores 67 difficulty
Plant Identifier, Care: Planty holds the top spot with 37,952 ratings behind it. 4 apps in the ten carry over 100,000 ratings; the rest are smaller, so the page is not uniformly defended. The top three hold 68% of the page's ratings. 7 of the ten put the phrase in their app name. On this term the name does the work, and a listing that leaves it out is not really competing for it.

How to rank for “plant care”: no top app leads with it

At 10 characters it fits an app name with 20 to spare, yet the 3 names in the top ten that use it are much longer — brands with the keyword attached, which leaves the phrase competing from inside a longer string.

Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“plant”, “care”) can sit in different fields and still match the whole term. Each counts once across the name, subtitle and keyword field, so repeating a word you already have buys nothing and takes space another keyword could use.

None of the ten opens its name with it — the 3 that spell it out put it later in the name.

Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “plant care and watering” scores 31 on opportunity against this term's 15, at difficulty 11 rather than 67. All 21 related terms score higher. “plant care” names the category, but it is not the easiest way into it.

Choosing keywords you can rank for explains how the three numbers are worked out, and App Store metadata, field by field covers how to split a phrase this long across the three fields.
