Can wiping Clivia leaves with beer serve as fertilizing?

In the process of growing flowers, we often hear many practices said to be good for flowers, and wiping Clivia leaves with beer is one of the methods heard often recently. Some people say that wiping Clivia leaves with beer can make the leaves shiny and can also play a fertilizing role. Is this claim actually true?

Clivia

We know that the main raw materials of beer are water, malt, rice, hops, etc. Beer contains a certain amount of alcohol and sugar, and even beer left to sit overnight still contains sugar. If these substances are applied over the long term, they are not conducive to the normal respiration of Clivia leaves and are instead harmful.

In addition, the shine produced by wiping with beer is not the natural gloss of Clivia leaves and cannot change the plant's own orchid quality, so it is not recommended to wipe the leaves with beer. The correct approach is still to wipe and wash them with clean water.
