Because then you can put the holes where you want them and as many as you want. And you can do it with one pot that you already have and not have to pay shipping to order only a couple pots. And you can add side drainage in a pot without even taking out the already established plant.

True.
I'm just saying that there are pots with holes at the right places out there and buy those instead of aircone pots only to make extra holes later.

Many years ago when I was a member of the local orchid society one of the members had a novel idea for this problem that had everybody aghast. He went to cemeteries that allowed live plants and checked their trash barrels or found their dump. I would imagine especially effective in spring.
What's wrong with clay pots? Lowes carries clay pots with
a hole in the bottom and holes all the way around the sides. Holes + clay pots= lots of
air movement. They're also fairly cheap.
