I have this beautiful hoya rosita, I always wanted one.

It came in a 4" pot, would it be really bad to repot it in a 3" pot with holes?

I was planning to use pantyhose or netting if I had to cover some of the holes to keep soil from falling out, but I was planning a chunky mix.

I can squeeze a 4" pot in there, but the hydroponic pot fits nicely with the lip.

The 3 inch pot for your Wax Plant (Hoya 'Rosita') will probably be fine!

Downsizing the pot will only help it to become root bound and grow faster. Good luck, enjoy your new Hoya.🥰
