Bletilla Seeds

I know they will divide. The one plant is already half a dozen distinct plants. The question I posed was whether or not the seed required the laboratory environment of most orchids, or if the seed is more like a regular plant i.e. you place it in good potting soil and it sprouts. I see that another poster has talked about growing orchid seed on bark. I will investigate this before I decide whether or not to invest in flasking the seeds.
