Growing in a greenhouse will require stading and tying. You need to spend it every 5-7 days. It is better to remove the stepsons in the morning, in dry weather. If the tomatoes are grown on the trellis, then the stepson from under the fourth or fifth inflorescence can be left and then to keep the bush in two stems.
