Brought Rosemary Indoors- have questions

So far I have almost every year planted a new small rosemary plant in my garden, only to see it grow then die over the winter. My few attempts at bringing one indoors failed, either it would dry up perhaps because I brought it indoors too late, or because they collected a disease at same later point.

This year I want to do it successfully. My rosemary is already in the house, right now its a very healthy looking potted plant. I used regular potting soil, read too late about adding sand, don't want to shock it with another transplant.

How much should I water it? I don't want it to dry up again.

In order to prevent mildew etc., should I spray it with organic soap right away? ( this is what I do with my hibiscus that tends to produce little bugs in a few months of bringing it indoors).

Can I keep cutting off some stems for use, or is it better to leave it alone over the winter?

Would love to hear your comments, thanks!
