I've been doing this for years. Yes to your question. I do plant them in soil as the water root system gets quite big. If the plant gets too big in the the soil, I again clip it, start rooting it in water, and keep the plant size in control until it's ready to go outside. That window is a northside facing window in my laundry room; the plants don't need heavy sunny exposure. They do drink a lot of water, so you have to keep an eye on that or have a good size container.
