Prefer to be potbound or no?

Hooray, got my osmanthus and stephanotis! And the good news is, I can definitely smell the osmanthus. (I was a little afraid I'd be in the "can't smell" camp, as I've had osmanthus tea and had a bit of difficulty smelling the apricot notes.)

So my question now is, do osmanthus and/or stephanotis prefer to be potbound, or have the standard amount of room (proportionate to size of plant)? I was wondering in particular about the osmanthus fragrans. I received a plant in a 4in pot, but the plant itself is about 2.5 ft high! Which is nice if it is slow-growing (is it?) but the 4in pot definitely seems small. What size pot should it be in?

I'm planning on growing these both inside in containers, in a south facing window with a sheer curtain on the window.

Thanks!
