Describe an important plant in your country: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

An important plant that we see in our country, when I say our country, I meant near my household is Tulsi. The plant is called Tulsi and it's seen almost everywhere. It used to be seen almost everywhere but nowadays it's not being seen as much as we had in the past. It is actually a medicinal plant. We use Tulsi leaves to boil water. We use the juice of this Tulsi to cure our wounds. When we have to clean our eyes, if something goes into your eyes and you have to clean your eyes, you can use that Tulsi juice. Like that Tulsi has so many medicinal qualities. A Tulsi can be seen anywhere and even if we don't have it, you can get a stem and plant it anywhere. It is very easy to grow and you don't need to give any special attention or anything to grow a Tulsi plant. It's like having your own little medical shop with Tulsi.

The plant that holds a special spot in every Indian's heart is Tulsi because in India, every Indian household have at least one Tulsi plant in their home because they feel it's devotionally connected and they assume the plant as a deity and worship the plant everyday. After all, Indians tend to see God in every animal and every plant but apart from that, I think Tulsi has also many medicinal properties which can cure different kinds of diseases like common cough and it's also used in treating asthma. Asthma, when I was a child, we used to have a Tulsi tree and even we have now but when I was a child, my mom used to explain me about the spiritual importance of Tulsi tree and asked me to worship the tree for good things to happen in my life. Later, when I grown up, I have also discovered many medicinal features of Tulsi and that fascinated me very much about the plant.
