In the video, a person is seen using a pair of scissors to cut away excess roots from a plant. The person's hands are covered in dirt, indicating that they have been working with the plant for some time. The scissors are used to trim the roots, which are brown and tangled, to ensure that the plant is healthy and well-maintained. The background is blurred, but it appears to be an outdoor setting with greenery. The focus of the video is on the careful and precise trimming of the plant's roots.
