I moved this dude inside for the winter last month after he was on my porch all summer. I decided to leave the spider webbing figuring maybe any surviving spider(s) would help with potential pests that could be lurking in my plant collection. I noticed the other day though this leaf damage under some of the webbing and I’m wondering if at this point I should rinse it all off/if it’s possibly causing damage to the plant.
I water him whenever he starts looking wrinkly, and he gets direct morning light and is also under a grow lamp all day.

Oh man please gently spray that baby down.
I’d get rid of all the webbing. It doesn’t seem like spider mites but that’s based on 1 picture. I’d clean it off as much as possible and even spray for pests.
not spider mites, that’s plain ol spiders. doesn’t really hurt the plant, might help with fungus gnats and pests.
I’d let it stay
Most plant pests wont be killed by spiders just FYI.
