In the title compound, [Ni(NCS)2(C13H19N3O)(H2O)], the NiII ion is six-coordinated by the N,N',N''-tridentate Schiff base, the N atoms of two thiocyanate ligands and one water O atom in a distorted octahedral geometry. Intramolecular C-H...N and C-H...O hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, O-H...S, O-H...O and C-H...S hydrogen bonds link adjacent molecules into layers parallel to the ac plane.
