RootRx Application Guide

Lawnbright RootRx is a soil and root-health booster containing ingredients such as sea kelp, molasses, and humic acid, which support root growth and soil biology. RootRx focuses on strengthening what is below the ground - roots, soil structure, microbial activity and nutrient uptake - to improve overall lawn health.

When to Apply:

Apply RootRx according to the instructions in your lawn plan or pack. RootRx is provided to plan subscribers at the appropriate time for their climate and soil test results.

How to Apply:

  1. Shake the bottle well and then remove the cap.

  2. Insert the spray top, straw side down into the bottle. 

  3. Attach the bottle to your hose on the other end of the sprayer top. Turn the hose on and the plastic dial to “on.”

  4. Spray evenly on your lawn in a back and forth motion, covering the lawn evenly.

  5. Water thoroughly after applying.

Tips:

  • RootRx helps to repair damage in stressful conditions, such as heat stress or drought.

  • RootRx is also a good choice for pre-stress periods, because it helps build a strong root system and allows the lawn to better deal with weather extremes.

  • Use RootRx when the soil is moist and the grass is healthy enough to respond.

  • Water thoroughly after applying, so the ingredients move into the soil and reach the root zone.

  • RootRx should be paired with good lawn care practices: aeration, mowing, watering efficiently, etc., to allow roots to grow more freely.

FAQs:

What is Lawnbright RootRx? How does RootRx work?

RootRx is a natural soil conditioner that helps strengthen roots and improve the turf’s resilience in the face of stress. It contains ingredients such as kelp, humic acid and molasses, which help improve root depth and function.

Sea kelp provides a variety of micronutrients and growth hormones to help with stress resistance. Molasses is a sugar source for soil microbes. A healthy microbial population helps decompose organic matter, cycle nutrients, improve soil structure, and help roots across nutrients. And humic acid helps improve soil water holding capacity, nutrient retention and helps root cells more efficiently absorb nutrients.

Will I see immediate results on my lawn with RootRx?

Lime Boost is a soil conditioner, not a fertilizer with nitrogen, so you won’t see an instant green-up. However, your soil will be healthier, fertilizer you do apply will be more effective, and your lawn will bounce back better when growing conditions improve.

Why does a healthy root system matter?

Healthy roots that reach deep into the ground mean that your turf will be more resilient in the face of heat stress and drought. When the plant below the surface is healthy, it’s much easier to have greener, thicker grass.

How much of my lawn will RootRx cover?

Each bottle covers about 3,000 sq ft. If you’re not sure of your lawn size, try Lawnbright’s handy Lawn Size Calculator
