I know that I can say "such type of plants" instead of "such a type of plants", but why cannot I say "such person" instead of "such a person"?
Is there any reason for these two different usages of "such"?

For the pattern in your example
I kinda do dawg, you're a hustler!
The usually pattern is
you're such a hustler!
such being used as a superlative expressing a "high degree" or being "exemplary" of an adjective.
Being "such a hustler" is having more "hustle" than just being "a hustler".
you're such a worry wort ( worry about everything )
you're such a baby ( cries when doesn't get their way )
you're such a whiner ( big complainer )
small is an adjective used to describe size
delicate is an adjective used to describe how fragile something is
dainty is a form of "delicate" with a meaning of "pretty" and "cute"
For example, lace can be described as "dainty"
(source: oldandsold.com)
"To walk daintily" could mean "to walk carefully or gingerly" so as not to upset anything under foot (like a cat might do) or "to walk in a (certain) stylized feminine manner" (like how a bride might walk in a dress with a long train).
Best Answer
I don't believe you can (correctly) say "such type of plants". I believe the difference is singular vs. plural. When you're using the singular (person, plant), include 'a': "Such a person", "Such a type of plants" (In this case 'type of plants' is a singular, the plural would be 'types of plants').
When the subject is plural, you leave out 'a': "Such people", "Such types of plants".
