What are pots without drainage holes good for?

I have a pot without a drainage hole, but I've read recommendations to use one with drainage. So why are ones without drainage holes sold at all?

1. these are sold as decorative pots. i place my potted planter the one with holes in it. now my plant is 'dressed up'. i have also had to put gravel in the bottom of the decorative pots for the plant to sit evenly in. good luck
2. just like war Absolutely good for nothing war what is it good for :} good luck
3. You can use a pot without holes if you provide drainage area on the bottom. I use fine gravel (clean aquarium gravel is perfect) in a 1/2" layer, then top it with a coffee filter or fine mesh cut to size. Put the potting soil on top. Keep in mind that you're losing 1/2" of depth but it helps keep the plant roots from rotting.
