Ground cover plants prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy and clay-like, amend it with compost or other organic matter to improve drainage.

Ground cover plants typically require moderate watering. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on the plant's specific needs and environmental conditions. Avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot and other fungal diseases.

Different ground cover plants have varying light requirements, so choose the right plants for the amount of sunlight your garden receives. Some ground covers prefer full sun, while others do better in partial or full shade.

Ground cover plants generally do not require frequent fertilization. However, you can apply a slow-release fertilizer or compost to the soil in the spring to give them a boost.

Regular pruning can help keep ground cover plants looking neat and tidy. Trim back any dead or damaged foliage and remove any weeds or grasses that may be encroaching on the plants.
