The rosemary I recently potted isn't doing well. It's leaves are losing
color and there appears to be some webbing covering the stems. Assuming
it's an insect, but not sure what it is or how to handle it. Soapy water
spray? I'm in the AZ desert, btw.

Some bugs only come along for a short time each season. I'd try blasting the
plant from below with the garden hose sprayer. If a couple of weeks go by
and you're still having problems, then look for another solution.


if it looks like webbing u might have spider mites. take a peek on the stems themselves use a magnifying glass if u have to and look to see if u might have tiny little spiders crawling around on your rosemary.
if u do then i would hit them with the water as was mentioned and wait to see what happens then if they come back just treat with soapy water spray as u had originally thought. spider mites sure do not like soap and water lol.
good luck. cyaaaaa, sockiescat.
