My initial thought was to develop these documents and make extensive use
of variables (for the purpose of inserting the various plant names where
required) and conditional text to put information that is specific to
the particular plants.
I don't have a lot of experience with this problem myself, but I've read
enough posts to know there can be a lot of issues with conditional text
when there are a lot of conditions and/or overlapping conditions. So you
might want to weigh the pros and cons of using conditions in a single
document set versus using text insets in multiple document sets. In
other words, one approach is to create a single document set and use
variables and conditions to handle differences. The other approach is to
create multiple different document sets and use text insets to handle
similarities. If there's a lot of differing content, or many instances
where info is common to several but not all sites, then using insets
might be the better strategy.
