| Are you sure the plant was virused? Did you have it tested? Do you have any pictures of symptoms? The only case where a plant can have a virus in only part of the plant, it is my understanding, is if the infection is caused by a cut, stab, or whatever with an infected item to cause the infection in recent growth. What I have heard is that virus does not travel backward to older growths, so someone, and probably on this forum, reported they were able to save a plant by removing the older bulbs and coax them into new growth. But this assumes that you knew on what part of the plant the infection took place.
