In the video, a person is seen holding a plant with both hands and using a pair of scissors to trim the roots. The plant appears to be a small succulent with green leaves and a brown stem. The person is carefully cutting away excess roots, which are visible and appear to be dry and brittle. The background is blurred, but it seems to be an indoor setting with a wooden table. The person's movements are precise and deliberate, indicating that they are experienced in handling plants.
