Tulsi
Tulsi is considered to be a holy plant. This has medicinal properties and also is believed to eliminate negative energy from the house. This lucky plant is easy to grow and care plants.
You can gift a Tulsi plant in a beautiful earthenware pot to your sister this Raksha Bandhan. Placing the Tulsi plant in the North, East and Northeast directions are favourable and usher in positivity. This plant should never be placed in the South direction.
Aloe Vera
The Aloe Vera plant is a great gifting option as in addition to being considered an ornamental plant, this has medicinal and cosmetic properties. The Aloe Vera gel is used for skin and hair care.

Rose
The rose plant depicts love, care and affection and can be an ideal gift to your sister. You can choose between a pink rose plant that stands for thankfulness, a yellow rose plant for the friendship between the siblings and a white rose plant that stands for purity.
