Since the catt is obviously very young and (guessing) recently mounted to the tiny piece of wood, soak the mount for quite a while. Then use your fingernail, knife, something flat and dull to slip under the roots.

I've gotten several plants from Oak Hill that are basically seedlings mounted on pieces of cedar that are 1" x 6". I use the soak to remove method to place them on mounts they can live on at maturity. I wouldn't try this method if something was mounted on tree fern or cork, only smooth wood.

My amethystoglossa will be opening it's buds in the next few days - you will love this plant when it grows up.
