The Srishti, Brahma, Uttara & Kriyayogaasara Khanda of the Padma purana praise Tulsi to the hilt. Time & again they reiterate on the benefits of having a Tulsi at home & performing puja to her.

Rishi Suta says that the servants of Yama do NOT come a house where there is a grove of Tulsi. Those who plant the Tulsi do NOT ever see Yama. All the sin of those who plant the Tulsi, nourish it, attend upon it, look at it & touch it, perishes. (3)
The best rivers like Ganga, the best (gods) Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva, along with deities and holy places like Pushkara, remain in a Tulsi leaf. A sinner who endowed with Tulasi leaves casts his life & goes to Vishnu’s abode. (4)
Sin does not touch the body of the man who would wear the sandal like Tulsi wood. He goes to the highest position. He who though impure and of bad conduct wears beads made of Tulsi wood round his neck, goes due to his devotion to the abode of Vishnu (5)
Along with Tulsi, Dhatri (Amla) fruit is praised as very auspicious. The man on whose body is seen the beads made of Dhatri fruits or Tulsi, is a devotee of Vishnu. He who, puts round his neck the garland of Tulsi, would worship Vishnu, obtains for each flower, plenty of cows (6)
He who keeps the Dhatri fruit in his hand, on his head, round his neck or in his ears should be known as Vishnu himself. The sin earned during crores of existences of him who would worship Vishnu with the leaves and fruits of Dhatri, at once perishes. (7)
A man should worship Vishnu in a Tulsi grove & at the root of a Dhatri in Kaartika maasa. He certainly goes to Vishnu’s world by doing so.
If a sinner devoutly holds on his head the water remaining at the root of Tulsi, he goes to Vishnu’s abode. (8)

He who would hold on his head the water flowing from a Tulsi leaf, has bathed (i.e. has obtained the fruit of having bathed) at all sacred places, and in the end he goes to the abode of Maha Vishnu. (9)
