How can I refresh the .env file in Laravel if there's no root access?

Question

I am on a shared hosting. I am not the developer but I just changed a value in the .env file but the change is not reflecting on the main site. I even tried by opening http://siteurl.com/clear-cache(it says cache cleared) but it didn't work. How can I refresh it without root access? I can hardcode the value for now as a temporary hack but I want to make it work via the .env file.

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan optimize
