How is it going? I have space issues too. After I repotted these snake plants, I put some of the most sparse Coleus cuttings in, and by now they are starting to look amazing! Coleus really deserves more credit as a great houseplant, at least over winter. I can't say much about having one inside at other times.
If aesthetics are a concern, not just making use of a room where nobody but "me" goes, a pot is probably going to win almost every time. My snips in water are OK, but can only maintain a small amount of leaves. They look pale compared to these plants in soil... but I haven't spent a minute trying to decide how much water to give. LOL! ; )
